I'd say, barring a complete meltdown, Dana Holgorsen's job is safe for this year. The team has improved drastically on all three sides of the ball and actually looks like a well coached team. Plus he's putting together probably the best recruiting class WVU has had in a long time, if not ever. If we win at Maryland on Saturday, I think it's safe to go ahead and take him off the hot seat list.

Basil Hayden posted:Mike London (Virginia) - 18-31 last 4 seasons; 1-1 in 2014 - UVa isn't an amazing program historically or anything, but at least Al Groh got them to bowl games sometimes when they let him hang around the entire last decade. They were reasonably competitive against UCLA, but that same UCLA team struggled with Memphis, and London hasn't beaten an FBS team since August of 2013. I thought he should have been gone at the end of last season. He's 4-21 the last 25 games against I-A opponents. The team does seem to have improved over last year (though it would have been hard to be any worse). Weaknesses were points off turnovers, special teams, penalties, passing accuracy, the offensive line, etc. Very early this season it seems we've improved across the board. But we're still (probably) pretty bad, and the schedule is tough. We don't play any of the other bad ACC teams (Syracuse, NCSU, Wake). 6-6 and a bowl is probably not reachable, and that means London is gone. eta: we could go 2-10 again and only be the 4th worst ACC team

As of right now one of the warmer seats in the MAC has to be Dan Enos at Central Michigan. Things have slipped since the Brian Kelly and Butch Jones days and they just seem kinda rudderless right now. There was a lot of turnover among the bottom feeders recently so everyone else is pretty safe for the time being. If Jeff Quinn has a solid year at Buffalo I would expect to see a bigger team take a pass at him this year. Pete Lembo at Ball State got a lot of interest last year but nothing came of it. I don't know if the guy is a bad interview or what because he's done a great job.

Yeah, I noticed looking at the list of current coaches that like half of them are in their first or second season, which barring a scandal or an Ellis Johnson-level collapse will probably keep a lot of them safe even if they have a bad season. I feel like in general we might see less turnover than in the last couple years (ripple effects notwithstanding).

Am I in the ballpark here? Pretty much, yeah. SMU has money in spades, enough that the primary issue with facility upgrades is finding space. D/FW is crawling with good recruits, but SMU is about 9th or 10th in line for them at best. Beyond that, it has the typical mid-major in a Power 5 conference footprint problems plus whatever baggage remains behind from the Pony Excess days (apparently including the academic side of the school having more influence than normal over the athletic department). It's probably a pretty good stepping stone kind of job; the pay will be good but the boosters will expect some return on their investment. I don't think SMU is up for a retread after the June Jones experience, so I imagine they'll be focused on coordinators and successful FCS coaches. SMU gets most of its attention these days through big splash hires, so name recognition is likely at a premium. Orgeron might get a look and would be a decent fit in terms of football, but if he didn't fit the culture at USC I can't see how he'd fit in at SMU.

He's a mediocre coach, but barring a Lane Kiffin-esque complete meltdown, I think it's reasonably safe to assume he'll ride out the rest of the season and, if he does get fired, it'll be very soon after whatever lovely bowl we get into this year. I've heard some rumblings that his buyout this year is still too high for GT to consider firing him, but I don't know how true that is. As much as we grumble about Paul Johnson, about how he can't win any important games (1-15 against UGA, Clemson, VT, and Miami in the last 4 years), about his terrible record at bowls, at least he gets us to bowls every year. I think Nebraska fans who want to fire Pelini are crazy because I'd kill for consistent 8/9 win seasons. Some programs would probably love to have a coach that can consistently get them into bowls.

The only other coach in the American I figure is on anything approaching a hot seat would be Willie Taggart at USF as his team was absolutely pitiful last year, but he also falls into the group of rather new coaches and he can also point to his large freshman class this year for any failures. I could also see George O'Leary retiring after the season as he's 68 and has taken UCF as far as it can go, and it's only a matter of time before the siren song of the carousel lures Tommy Tuberville.

Another rumored candidate for the job is ULL's Mark Hudspeth. He is a great coach, and would likely do quite well at SMU. I know that Hud's dream job is Mississippi State, so he might stay in Louisiana because that would be a smart move to build up recruiting ties in the region for when he eventually gets the job after Mullen leaves for whatever reason.

There was a rumor that O'Leary was going to retire directly after the Penn State game in Dublin, which was fairly ridiculous. I do think that he'll retire soon though. He's done a great job building UCF into a more prominent program. I don't think UCF will be more than a jumping off point into a big program, but they might be able to attract good mid-major coaches on their way up the ladder.

I think Darrell Hazell is on the hot seat at Purdue. 1-11 in his first season and now it looks like he might repeat that record this year after getting blown out by Central Michigan. The only other winnable game I see on the schedule is SIU. I would hope a 2-22 record for two seasons gets you fired in the Big Ten. Danny Hope got fired for averaging 7 wins and three straight bowl appearances.

Hope absolutely drove Purdue recruiting into the ground and left a mess for Hazell to clean up, but you'd like to see at least some progress in the next couple years. I'd throw that first season out but if they're one of the worst teams in the country this year again (and they looked about as hopeless as ever in that CMU game) then I'd be seriously concerned. You'd like to see them win a couple more games and at least be competitive in others this year. Like at Iowa Kirk inherited an absolute disaster from Hayden (who did a great job overall, but had let recruiting fall completely into the shitter his last three years or so), so only winning 1 game the first year was understandable. Then the next year they were still bad, but were competitive in most games and stole a couple they shouldn't have (suck it, Northwestern). Then the third year they were again competitive in most games and made a bowl. And then year four they won the Big Ten and went to a BCS game. That last step is asking a little much from Purdue probably, but you'd like to see them at least back to bowl level by year three.

Indiana was even worse when Wilson took over. Indiana has gone 1-11, 4-8, and 5-7 since he took over, including a win over Penn State last year. So Wilson has demonstrated significant improvement. It's too early to cast out Hazell, but yeah, if he goes 1-11 again, he's in trouble. I'd still give him one more year if he is recruiting better. As an aside, if Indiana could field a competent defense, they'd be as good as Northwestern in recent years--7 to 8 wins and a bowl game. Wilson won't be at Indiana for long.
