With Mike Bobo and Will Friend expected to be at Auburn, we've already gathered some information on names to watch for offensive coordinator at South Carolina.

*** One name we have heard mentioned is one that came up earlier in the process, and that's SMU's Garrett Riley. The brother of Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley, there's an obvious connection to Shane Beamer there, and Riley runs the Oklahoma-style offense at SMU.

Riley worked this past season with offensive line coach AJ Ricker, who was a Broyles Award nominee this season and carried a co-offensive coordinator title at SMU.

Here's another interesting bit: earlier in the process, we mentioned SMU strength coach Kaz Kazadi as someone we had heard with some level of involvement in South Carolina's search for a strength coach. There's still no known hire on that front, either.

*** Speaking of Auburn, another name we are monitoring as a candidate for the OC job is former Auburn and Clemson OC Chad Morris. He's someone that we heard come up at various points in the past and a name that we have heard circulating in some of our channels in the last 24 hours.
