Re: NCAAF coaches on hot seat
Dooley - really. I guess if you can't win the SEC in 3 years with somebody else's recruits, then you should keep your bags packed. Riley is safe in Corn Valley. Who else would they get???

Re: NCAAF coaches on hot seat
Randy Edsall- garbage coach, terrible person, terrible recruiter. Recently hired the former New Mexico head coach as an assistant - awesome recruiter. Should have seriously been fired after this season, but Maryland can't afford to buy him out. Derek Dooley- not his recruits, but Kiffin is an awesome recruiter and Tennessee was pretty loaded with young talent. Dooley is a douchebag and has embarrassed himself thus far. Imo, the team needs to win a minimum of 7 games in order for Dooley to keep his job. Vanderbilt is the program in Tennessee that appears to be on the rise. Frank Spaziani- on the hot seat after one bad year? Boston College isn't a great job. They have great academics, but the support for their football program stinks. Tough place to recruit to. Mack "daddy" Brown- meh. Not a good coach, but he won't be fired. Texas has too much proven talent to not win 9 games this year. If Texas really wants to win, they would force Brown to retire and name Manny Diaz their head coach. Danny Hope- Purdue has had a ton of injuries (just like their bbal program). Probably not a great coach, but more importantly, he isn't a particularly good recruiter. Mike Riley- don't expect him to be fired unless they only win 2 games next season (which isn't happening). They have a good young QB and their o-line should be better next year. Could see Oregon State going 6-6 and Riley getting a contract extension.
Coaches whose seats should be warm: Kirk Ferentz- good coach, but two mediocre years in a row by their program's standards. One of the highest paid coaches in college football (makes more than Chip). Brian Kelly- good coach, the program is cursed. Needs to recruit team-oriented guys, not the typical Notre Dame prima donnas. Could see him being canned if they have another pedestrian year.

Since Riley already has a "Lifetime Renewal" clause, that would mean visiting the set of "Dark Shadows", to see if an accomodating vampire would give him a little nip (He already looks like one.)

Re: NCAAF coaches on hot seat
I've said before but Riley is best case scenario for the Beavers. If he leaves/gets fired then there are options are former flame outs(like an erickson) or the top mid-major coach available. They'd likely go with a mid-major coach and it'd go one of two routes, the coach would flop in a big time conference and they start over, or he'd be successful and then move on after 2-3 years and OSU is left out in cold yet again.
