So which SECW coach is on the hot seat in 2009

Saban is on the hot seat now and I dont see him standing for at least another year. IMHO I dont think you guys will allow Les to lose two without calling for his head. Staying at LSU did pull favor for him on his behalf.

g. All (everyone has at least 2 losses)

This will be the norm from now on, with a 1 loss season the exception.
With that said, none will be on the hot seat next year.

I left out 2008 because...

Petrino and Nutt will be in their first year (honeymoon)

Miles will be coming off of a National Title (hopefully) he's exempt next year

Tubberville and Croome just got extensions

Saban will not be fired after 2 years


But in 2009, there could be some unhappy big spenders out there.

if myers doesn't win 11 or 12 games next yr. fla fans will be up in arms

That's the SECE, but let's look at them...

Tennessee - their fans have wanted him out for 5 years now

UF - can't see Meyer being in trouble at all

USCe - maybe he'll give up and retire

UK - probably will be ready to fire Brooks by 2009. Woodson bought him an extra 3 years

Vandy - they would have to be like 2-10 to want a change

UGA - Richt will be safe

I think we will all be on probation within 4 years. With all of the coaches we have hete now you know that recruiting is about to get ugly.

So let's all raid the East for recruits.

Honestly, I've got to believe that Saban and Petrino have an advantage by not having an in-state rival. Croom will get a year or two worth of love fest for his job done this year, but that poor guy can't catch a break. Nutt has his work cut out for him. So his honeymoon may be short. I think Tuberville and Saban have the toughest road the next 2 years, and might both end up on the hot seat. Saban more than Tuberville based simply on having to climb up and not just maintain a program that's currently on top.

none

it's really hard to say b/c all the ones from the hot seat this year are gone. nutt and petrino will get a couple of years to prove themselves, tubby finished strong, croom was def on the hot seat coming into the season but he showed serious potential this year, saban still has a chance to prove he is the second coming of bear bryant, and you can't put a coach on the hot seat for going to the national championship. i'd say the west is looking pretty legit next year!!

You guys aren't reading closely. I said 2009. I know that barring an 0-fer, all of the coaches are safe next year. But what about the year after when coaches getting paid millions of dollars aren't winning their own division.

G. Everyone has 2 losses in 2009.

I think it will take an incredibly talented team to make it through the SEC with less than 2 losses from now on. Not that it's easy now by any stretch, but I think we may have raised the bar too high for ourselves. LSU will no longer be able to consider the odd years as the easy schedule. The SEC East will definitely have an advantage. On a plus side, you can look for the SEC's OOC record to maintain or improve. Besides Vandy other coferences can no longer schedule a "weak" SEC opponent to boost their SOS.
