Gotta disagree a bit....I still don't think Urban is on a hot seat at tOSU. They care more about winning football than public perspective IMO.


1) Urban Meyer Ohio State-- I still don't think Urban is on a hot seat at tOSU. They care more about winning football than public perspective IMO.
2) David Beaty Kansas-- Deservedly true but I don't think anyone including KU cares about KU football
3) Lovie Smith Illinois-- This one is legit IMO. Illini fans wanna be competitive in football.
4) Kliff Kingsbury Texas Tech-- I think his seat is EXTREMELY hot and will be gone after this season.
5) Luke Fickell Cincinnati--- Had a big statement win at UCLA over Kelly. Last year played WAY to conservative but is opening it up this year. He'll survive unless UC falls apart
6) Kilani Sitaki BYU-- I'd rate his return rate at 45%
7) Jim Harbaugh Michigan-- I think he maybe #1 on the hot seat. Can't win on the road against ranked teams and if they struggle in BIG and get waxed by tOSU he's gone
8) Ed Orgeron LSU-- His personality makes his seat hot IMO...Big win against Miami but will have to be solid in SEC to survive. Biggest question is who would replace him??
9) Major Applewhite Houston-- Honestly have no clue
10) Larry Fedora North Carolina-- Should be fired, 10% he returns
11) Dana Holgorsen West Virginia-- I think baring a complete flop this season he's pretty safe for at least another season.
12) Brad Lambert Charlotte-- Charlotte has football????
13) Matt Rhule Baylor-- Who wants the job???
14) Kevin Sumlin Arizona-- I think he'll be given at least 3 years unless it's a total disaster.
15) Chris Ash Rutgers-- Rutgers knows they can't compete in the B1G.....Could be fired but is there anyone better they can get?
16) Bobby Petrino Louisville-- His name will get him a season or two again and the fact they lost Jackson.
17) Gus Malzahn Auburn-- Popular name on the hot list but I think he should be 75% safe
18) Barry Odom Missouri-- Stud QB and they think this could be a somewhat special year...I'd rate it 50/50
19) Paul Johnson Georgia Tech-- The system causes problems but doesn't lead to big wins...Time to move on and give up on the system
20) Brent Brennan San Jose State-- Again, no clue but it's SJS
21) Randy Edsall UConn-- Gets another season
22) Everett Withers Texas State--- Seriously?
23) Mike Neu Ball State-- I think he should be top 15, do a break season in Munice
24) Scooter Montgomery East Carolina-- Gotta keep him for the name Scooter!
25) Mike Jenks Bowling Green-- No clue
26) Phillip Montgomery Tulsa-- See above
27) Mike MacIntyre Colorado-- I think he's a top 10 name on this list. Buffs are wanting to win badly and SOON
28) Bob Davie New Mexico-- Name might buy him another season
29) Tom Herman Texas-- IMO he should be top 5 if not #1...Texas football has become a joke and that should NEVER happen in Austin
30) Tony Sanchez UNLV---Wouldn't bet on it, see what I did there!? :)

I think Derek Mason should be on the list because i think he gets fired when Vanderbilt goes 3-9 and 0-8 in the SEC. I think Larry Fedora would be an interesting hire for head football coach at Vanderbilt in 2019.

Orgeron, Malzahn (signed a big extension end of last season), and Odom are safe this year IMO unless there is a total collapse in their programs. Odom just got there as well. Derek Mason is probably safe at Vandy this year as well, even if it goes off the rails. He kept Vandy respectable, has a winning record against UT, and they don't dump football coaches the way other programs do. He's good this year no matter what IMO and probably next year as well. Applewhite just arrived at Houston a season ago, he's solid this year IMO. Sumlin is in his first season at Arizona and his seat is hot? Not it's not.

Vandy has a solid veteran QB and a pretty good D I think they have another solid year

You can remove Meyer from the list.
The only reason why he could has shown to be little to no concern for those that pull that trigger.

If anything they left no doubt as it his future there as long as he keeps winning 10+.

Harbaugh will never be fired. He might leave for an nfl job after this season, but they’ll never fire him. Malzahn signed a $49 million extension just beat too 10 Washington and beat UGA and Bama last year. No way he’s on the hot seat. I have to think Tom Herman and Fedora are the 2 likely most on the hot seat. I’ll be interested to see what happens with FSU also. It’s one game, but it sure looks like a bad marriage already.

I don't think Jim Harbaugh will stay as Michigan head coach and keep losing to Ohio State that's an unforgivable sin to hardcore Wolverine backers. It wouldn't shock me if he were cut loose after Urban Meyer cleans his clock in Columbus to end the 2018 season.
