Coaches on the Hotseat - NFL & NCAA - Sonny Dykes fired

[PanthersPens62]

So what if its only week one of the college season. Let's kick this baby off by putting Les "Lulz" Miles right back on the hotseat. Maybe LSU should have followed its 1st instinct last year & canned him. I doubt he survives after this season after what I saw from them today.

Holgorsen and James Franklin should be on the hot seat. Maybe Malzahn and Strong too.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Franklin, Strong and Malzahn..yes. No on Holg. Hes building a bully.

 

[HisIceness]

Mike MacIntyre at Colorado if the Buffaloes fail to make a bowl.

Mike MacIntyre at Colorado if the Buffaloes fail to make a bowl.

for sure, although I think Mac has actually progressed CU. Just not fast enough.

I would be elated though to see Les Miles go back to Boulder. That's my hope.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

You gotta think that at Purdue, Hazell, is getting to the point where they need to look significantly better this year for Hazell to stick around. It's that Year 4 and it's not like year 1 to 3 have given any indication that he's the right guy.

 

[HisIceness]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Hazell. Kevin Wilson might be another if Indiana fails to make a bowl.

 

[Bonzai12]

The guy at Pitt I think is in the crosshairs too.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Holgorsen and James Franklin should be on the hot seat. Maybe Malzahn and Strong too.

100% this.

Swinging and missing on every single in state kid in WVU this year does not help him. The first time in ages the state produces legit D1 talent and you can't really bring in any of them? Oof.

 

[John Price]

Holgorson started off well but when he moved to the Big 12 he struggled to adapt and was constantly beat by the blue bloods in the conference.

The guy at Pitt I think is in the crosshairs too.

What. Narduzzi is doing a good job. Maybe you're thinking of someone else

 

[GKJ]

It certainly would help if WVU didn't have to go so far for all their road games.

 

[DaveG]

100% this.

Funny thing is the last time I can even remember a decent prospect from WV picking them is Josh Jenkins. There weren't even many that picked WVU going back to my time, most of them went out of state to somewhere like Notre Dame if they had the talent.

Ryan Switzer prettymuch didn't even give WVU the time of day. He was 100% Ped State until the Sandusky **** came to a head, then he was all-in on UNC.

Prettymuch anyone else that picked them already had serious ties to the program (Wolfley, Tonkery), it's usually the unheralded guys from in-state that pan out well for the team anyhow (Wellman).


Holgy's probably going to need at least an 8-9 win season this year though.

 

[Voight]

Gus Bradley is if they finish anywhere below .500

 

[Halladay]

The interesting point about Miles is he has a rather large uyout clause, which the state of Louisiana school cant afford. So either their donors buy him out, some other team does (unlikely), or he just leaves that money on the table and goes somewhere else (unlikely). They could be stuck with him for a while. LSU is becoming much like UT under Mack Brown.

NFL wise:

Really hot

Gus Bradley - Doesn't have much excuses to not at least be competitive

Jim Caldwell - Given how many games the Lions blew last year, i can't see Caldwell surviving if they have a similar season (spoilers: they will)

Mike McCoy: How the **** did he even survive last season?

Should be hot, but will likely be saved by other things: (Unlikely to get fired, but still slight possibility)

Jeff Fisher: He has pictures or dirt on somebody. Rams can and likely will stumble through another 6 or 7 win season with little improvement and he'll be fine.

Rex Ryan: Lost a good chunk of his defense to injury/legal troubles. Not really his fault

Marvin Lewis: Bungles gonna bungle

Bill O'Brien: Made the playoffs last season (albeit thanks to a craptastic division) and if they have a setback, that likely keeps him employed despite the improvements

Jason Garrett: I mean, you can't really blame him for Tony Romo having bones made of paper mache being held together with school glue, can you?

There were talks earlier this year that the boosters would pool their money to buy him out and try to pry Jimbo away.

McCoy survived because the Chargers are A0 Cheap and didn't want to pay him to sit at home and B) Were more focused on moving to LA. Any other team and I bet my paycheque he would have been fired after going 4-12 with no injuries to a major player.

O'Brien I think should get slack given he had a revolving door of QBs last season, which isn't his fault.

Makes sense, you're asking a kid to turn down a free ticket out of West Virginia.

 

[Hasbro]

I wonder about Mike McCarthy of the Packers. Calling the GM cheap has to drive a wedge.

 

[Avs_19]

McCoy and Bradley's seats are likely very warm heading into the season.

Pagano got that extension but he might not be safe either if the Colts struggle early on. He was very close to being out after last season.

 

[GKJ]

Pagano definitely isn't safe, Colts likely need to win multiple playoff games. There were murmurs all year last year that things weren't rosy between he an Irsay, and it's not like Pagano did a terrible job, they went 8-8 and Luck only won 2 games.

 

[Bonzai12]

What. Narduzzi is doing a good job. Maybe you're thinking of someone else

Yeah I was thinking of the Purdue guy. He's gotta have like a 3-4 game leash right now.

 

[Hasbro]

Bill O'Brien: Made the playoffs last season (albeit thanks to a craptastic division) and if they have a setback, that likely keeps him employed despite the improvements

He's another guy who got a rep as a QB guru after inheriting Tom Brady and Belichick.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I don't see any chance that O"Brien goes unless Texans fall to 2-14 and locker room falls apart

Back to back 9-7 seasons and a playoff appearance has probably bought him at least thru 2017 job security

 

[Halladay]

There were talks earlier this year that the boosters would pool their money to buy him out and try to pry Jimbo away.

Jimbo isnt leaving FSU though. He already gets more talent there than at LSU and he has a much easier conference. Basically all Jimbo has to do right now is beat Clemson and he is in the Conference title game. FSU is an automatic 10 win team every year, Lousiville is good but other than them and Clemson the rest of the teams are wins. Unless they are going to buyout him out for Tom Herman, I not sure what other high profiled coach they would want.

 

[Tony Romo]

Why would Jimbo leave arguably the second best team in CFB? He runs the state of Florida currently.

Also Jason Garrett is the most untouchable coach behind Carroll and Bill. I'm being serious. Would take a 1 or 2 win season for him to be fired.
