Following Kiffin's departure, Ole Miss quickly promoted defensive coordinator Pete Golding to head coach, a move seen as fitting given his rapport with players and coaching pedigree. Meanwhile, Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas also announced their new coaching selections, collectively meaning a quarter of the SEC is entering a new era with fresh leadership.
