Dave Steckel, Missouri, Defensive Coordinator > Particulars: Age: 56. This was his 12th season at Missouri. > The Buzz: Dave Steckel did a masterful job this season at Mizzou.

This was his 1st season at Auburn. > The Buzz: Auburn’s 2012 defense was atrocious. They couldn’t cover, and they > couldn’t tackle. That’s a perfect combination for terrible. Enter Ellis > Johnson.

In fact, they’ve allowed a lot of total yards, but they stepped > up in the red zone throughout the entire season and are ranked the SEC’s > second best red zone defense, allowing teams to score just 70.83 percent of > the time. It’s nowhere near perfect, but it’s adequate enough to win an SEC > Championship and garner a shot in the national championship. Johnson has done > a fabulous job in 2013. > > 6. Lorenzo Ward, South Carolina, Defensive Coordinator > Particulars: Age: 46. This was his 5th season at South Carolina. > The Buzz: Too young or too much lost to put together a top five defense at > Carolina? Think again. The job Ward and his staff did transforming an > altogether young and inexperienced defense was outstanding. The Gamecocks > finished second in scoring defense (20 ppg) and second in run defense (142.25 > ypg). They finished the season with 24 sacks, and they have one of the most > experienced units returning in 2014, even without Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcy > Quarles. > > 7. Josh Henson, Missouri, Offensive Coordinator > Particulars: This was his 5th season at Missouri. > The Buzz: When OC David Yost left after last season, several thought the > Tigers’ offense would take a major hit. However, Gary Pinkel promoted Josh > Henson, and the rest is history.

This was his 3rd season at Vanderbilt. > The Buzz: Bob Shoop’s impact at Vanderbilt has been fun to watch develop over > the last three years.

The Dores > also finished fifth in total defense, and they’ve finished sixth or better > the last three seasons. He’s one of the most underrated coordinators in > college football. > > 10. Travaris Robinson, Defensive Backs Coach, Florida > Particulars: Age: 32. This was his 3rd season at Florida. > The Buzz: Florida’s offense never allowed the defense to truly play to their > potential because they were on the field so much, but Florida’s secondary has > been one of the most talented and productive secondaries over the last three > seasons. Sure, Will Muschamp has his hand in the secondary, but it’s Travaris > Robinson’s group. Florida finished second in the SEC in pass defense, > allowing teams only 171 yards per game, and they finished with the top pass > rating defense, too. And Robinson is a phenomenal recruiter.
