CFB Coaches Hot Seat Rankings
Saban's on the hot seat? Uhh...what?
I'd put Saban higher. Just watch those necks haul out the torches if he has the audacity to put in an 8-4 season.
is the heated leather seats of his brand new ride (SUV?)
at Richt and Harbaugh. How can Harbaugh be 5 spots lower than Richt? And Nick Saban at 15? Really?
IDK man, I think that Richt is on more of a hot seat than Harbaugh. Although neither of them are on a very hot seat at all. I think of it this way, If harbaugh goes 5-7,6-6, 6-6 the next three years I still think he will be back for a fourth. Richt would be gone after maybe two .500 seasons. Saban should be around 80-100 and the only reason he is not dead last is because Alabama fans are crazier than most.
Richt's seat definitely isn't cool. And certainly much warmer than a newly hired Harbuagh. Richt is basically like Carr circa 2005 or 2006. Or like Stoops now. He's been there forever, hasn't done much nationally lately, "only" wins 10 games a year, has changed/lost both coordinators recently, and fans are generally restless with the program. Richt should be somewhere around 30-40 IMO.
I didn't word my comment correctly. I'm shocked that Harbaugh is anywhere near Richt on the list. IMO, RIcht should me much higher (very hot seat in Power Conferences) and Harbaugh much lower. I think my comment may have come out wrong.
When they fire Richt, the curse of Glen Mason will be upon them for decades.
This list has no credibility. None.
Back to Nike vs. Addidas.
I like bright yellow. It makes me cheery.
I'm not going to bother clicking on that link, because you were so nice in providing Mr. Harbaugh's position on that list.
That being said - how the fuck do they rank these things? I get Urban being #1 on the list - he just won a National Championship against the ESS EEE SEE and NIKE. But, realistically - how is Harbaugh anywhere outside of the top 10, or top 20 (for that matter)?
As a fan base, we couldn't get anyone better. Everyone loves him. He's been all over the news. Just because he's taking over for Hoke's heaping pile of 5-7 doesn't mean he's seat is approximately the 44th hottest in the nation. Garbage.
increases his security.
I expect that Jim will wildly exceed "good enough", but there is a lot of cushion built into Jim's "good enough" from our seven years wandering in the middle of the B1G (or worse).
How is Riley so high up on the list already? It's not like Pelini set some insurmountable legacy at NU...
While I agree Pelini didn't leave an insurmountable legacy and he seems to have rubbed some people the wrong way, he won 9 or 10 games every year (9-4, 10-4, 10-4, 9-4, 10-4, 9-4, 9-3). I'm guessing Nebraska didn't bring in Riley with the hope that he goes 9-4 every year. Riley is going to need win and win big probably very early in his tenure if he wants to coach in Lincoln for a while.
He had the exact same record as Hoke the last three years. I'm STILL wondering what Nebraska sees in this guy.

To his credit, he did put an unusually high number of guys into the NFL from Oregon State.
Maybe it was the school moreso than him? Then again, Riley didn't do so hot with the Chargers either.
Nebraska hiring Riley is a total head scratcher.
IMO they should of hired the guy from AF and get back to there nitch as a triple option team.
Riley is the anti-Pelini. That's why they hired him. He is polite and not prone to angry profanity laced tirades.
the best thing about Pelini, other than his cat.
Ferentz being #12 is hot garbage. Iowa would never get rid of him with that contract and pay another coach at the same time. They're stuck with him and everyone knows it.
Well if she would read MGoBlog more instead of playing with Barbies, she'd know it.
What kind of kid are you raising?
Wrong. The math has been done. It makes financial sense to pay the man and get rid of him. http://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2014/09/16/can-iowa-afford-to-fi…
I remember seeing this and I'm not saying they shouldn't fire him. I'm just saying Iowa wouldn't do it
Did the math this winter and Iowa could fire Ferentz and have hired Herman from OSU (who has Iowa State history) and came out flat. So it's not as "out there" anymore as it was 2-3 years ago nor will it be as we move forward. That said Iowa is probably content with 8 wins a year and running a clean program. If you fire Ferentz you could either get a great coach, a similar coach, or a worse coach. The latter 2 are reasons not to fire Ferentz. And if you get a great coach it is unlikely he is at Iowa for the long run anyhow.

Tim Beckman, #32. That tells you everything you need to know about this list.
Beckman will be the first coach fired in the B1G this year.
Saban on the hot seat is hilarious because it speaks volumes on how psychotic Alabama fans are.
There are five coaches who have a win percentage that's North of the .800 mark at their current job. Saban is one of them.
Maybe it just speaks volumes about how dumb this list is.
Thank you.
How many people called for Carrs head? He just came off a 1 vs 2 Ohio State game the problem with success is people want more no matter how much they have had.
Also, Dan Enos is still listed as CMU's head coach which is wrong.
He left CMU to be the OC at Arkansas. CMU's coach is career assistant John Bonamego.
That hire still baffles me. The least they could do is hire some up and comer from no where with ambition! Don't hire a guy that's been coaching NFL special teams for the last 15 years.
Like there is a chance that Iowa will ever not be coached by Kirk Ferentz.
It's a little known fact that after he dies, Iowa will bronze his mortal husk which will continue coaching football.
Bronze Ferentz: ...
Assistant: Coach, just nod or otherwise gesture if you want to go for it.
Bronze Ferentz: ...
Assistant: Punt team!
How will we be able to tell when this happens?
they punt
It's basically several straight seasons of Michigan not looking like Michigan that has taken much of the passion away from obsessing over the rest of the college football universe like I once did (unless I'm purposely watching a game to root against somebody).
As a result, I read that and all I ask is, "Ron Turner is at Florida International? Norm Chow is at Hawaii? When did that happen?"

I thought the same thing. Once you are a head coach, they just keep recycling you over and over, even if you are bad. You never actually go away.
Where is Charlie Wies ? I mean besides at a Long John SIlvers.
I read recently that he's still due 25 million USD from Notre Dame and Kansas.

free food vouchers at the Vegas casinos. That's currency to a hungry man.
I wanted everyone to understand the sheer quantity of US dollars.
Guy is getting paid nearly 20 million to NOT coach. Dude must have the best agent on the face of the earth.
Nah, it's just common sense at work.
Paying him $20 million to not coach is a bargain. It is my understanding that all NCAA teams secretly pitch into a fund to pay his $20 million to keep him from showing up on their doorstep one day.
Smart.
