The season 3 finale left off with Coulson and Mac reporting to a new director. Since then rumors have swirled around on who that new director could be. Now details are starting to come out. The new director will not be one of the previous characters on the show however the character will not be exactly new. The character is said to have origins all the way back to the 1940s which my guess means that he could have been a character in the old Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos series.
The new director will be played by Irish actor Jason O'mara. Jason is known for his role in the short lived but beloved series Terra Nova and the Good Wife. Marvel's head of television Jeph Loeb said that Jason's role will be to force, "everyone, particularly Coulson, to reevaluate their role in the agency."
Update:
Marvel has released the first picture of Jason O'Mara as the new director:
