Hot Seat (teams must have huge season to save job):
- Steve Kragthorpe, UL... has been disaster so far
- Charlie Weiss, Notre Dame.... lot of hype with little results
- Mike Sherman, Texas A&M... they may be the 5th best program in Texas now.
- Mark Snyder, Marshall... been there for a while now and the Herd still aren't competitive in C-USA.

Warm Seat (teams must show improvement to help their case)
- Gene Chizik, Auburn.... he is a temporary hire IMO anyway.
- Lane Kiffin, Tennessee... just because he has been so vocal and in the National spotlight.
- Mike Stoops, Arizona... Big name, little results thusfar.
- Greg McMackin, Hawaii... His off-color comments didn't help his case.
- Randy Shannon, Miami... Continues to recruit well, but Hurricans have not been a National Factor.
- Rich Rodriguez, Michigan... If they improve and get back to a bowl all will be well, but if they struggle again like last year it could be ugly in Ann Arbor.

Seat Warming (Well known coaches who could see their seat warm up in a hurry)
- Mark Richt, Georgia.... Been very successful but last year's failure as #1 and their inability to beat Florida doesn't help. Lose again to GA Tech and it gets hotter.
- Bobby Bowden, FSU.... Just hanging on for the coaching record, pretty obvious they want Jimbo Fisher to take over before they have to pay him all that money.
- Ralph Freidgen, Maryland... Took their program to new heights, but seems they have plateaued.
- Dave Wannstedt, Pitt... Pitt hasn't seemed to become a national power as many expected when he came on. They haven't been bad, but they haven't been great.
- Steve Spurrier, South Carolina... Another average season for SC could start raising eyebrows as Spurrier has now been there for a while.
