re: Which SEC team loses their HC first?

Del Rio is not a current HC so if the job was his I think they would have already made some kind of announcement. I think he is fall back if they can't get the high profile HC they want. ESPN thought that Riley, Sumlin, and Sark were the 3 at the top of the list with Del Rio thrown in.

It's possible they're gonna do what lots of programs tend to do (stupidly, in most but not all cases) and let Orgeron show his chops first. That's how programs get stuck with an interim coach that dazzled in his interim season and then spiraled into infamy in his sophomore season. So they literally might not yet have made a decision.

Or they're negotiating. It's only been a week, after all. The firing was, by all accounts, a game-time decision.
