Dantonio being on this list is laughable.

I didn't realize Mora's seat was so warm in UCLA.

I actually think Kingsbury is the answer here though.

I'd have to look at schedules to bet on who's first, but I think these guys are gone midseason


Sumlin will be 5-0 again at midseason baw.



If anyone is screwed by midseason it's Mora. UCLA is staring down a 1-4 start unless Josh Rosen can push that offense to score 40+ a game.

That Oregon is a low key racist AF state? They banned blacks from being there when it was a territory and it also had a whites only clause in it's original state constitution.

It's probably pretty warm but unless UCLA is about to drop the news on some scandal, he's not getting fired midseason so rule him out as the first fired.

Put your money on the next most vulnerable SEC coach, now that Freeze is gone, unless you have some insider information about another school about to get outed as the next Baylor.

Their OC was fired for a DUI, the WR coach was in the car with him.

The strength coach was suspended when a few players ended up in the hospital.

OU President'very upset'

Then last month Darren Carrington was arrested after crashing his car into a McDonald's, while drunk.

And then that judge in Florida blasted Charlie Strong by mistake.

quote:

"I'm an alumni, graduated from USF in 1989, long before there was a football team," Taylor said "And while USF may not be the top-ranked school in the nation, I was never ashamed of being an alum until now," the judge added. "Embarrassed and ashamed, Mr. Jackson. Let's just say that my USF diploma is not proudly hanging in my office right now."

"Coach Strong, if you are listening, in the last couple of months there have been two arrests of your players for very violent felonies. This court, and I'm sure I'm not alone, questions whether you have control over your players," the judge said in a courtroom video obtained by the Tampa Bay Times from television station WTSP.


The judge was removed from the case and apologized to Coach Strong, he had been there less 10 weeks and the were Taggart's players. At 35/1 thinking their thinking might be that one major scandal might cost him his job.

I know this is your go to line otb when it comes to VOLS, but it is not true anymore.

We were in facilities debt towards the end of the Hamilton era, but Hart turned that around very quickly for all his faults.

$18M in unrestricted reserves + $12M surplus. Hart was a bean counter so I assume the 16-17 fiscal year likely generated a similar surplus.

If you think a school with ~$30M in unrestricted reserves cannot fire a coach you are kidding yourself.

I want to think that...

Bailiff (Rice) - Went 3-9 last year, and is a safe bet to start 1-4 this year. Should be top third in C-USA considering their relative budget size. The fanbase just doesn't like the guy, either.

Holliday (Marshall) - Went 3-9 last year, and has a difficult opening slate could put him in another hole. He might have a little more time since he has had early success at Marshall.

Fritz (Tulane) - Went 4-8 last year (although played a few good teams tight). The problem is the rest of the division is getting scary good - and a turnaround seems unlikely.

...should be listed.

He is not on the hot seat after a single season. Holy shite talk about ridiculous expectations.
