Every offensive and defensive coordinator in the SEC for 2026

While the Oklahoma Sooners will finally be enjoying some stability when it comes to their play-callers on both sides of the football in 2026, the winds of change blew through a number of other programs in the Southeastern Conference this offseason.

With six new head coaches in the SEC and new assistant coaches all over the conference, the league looks a little different than it did in 2025. Though many of the top contenders also return most of the brain trust, there are some schools who will have a whole different flavor this fall.

Today, we’ll take a look at every SEC team’s coordinators for next season, on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Some of the names are familiar ones to SEC fans, and some will be experiencing their very first season as a coordinator in the nation’s toughest conference.

Here is every coordinator in the SEC for 2026:
