Which first time Head Coach gets fired first?

A lot of teams taking huge risks in first time head coaches. I expected a lot more mid major guys like Babers, Rhule, and Herman. Instead we have ended up with this:
SEC
Odom - Mizzou
Muschamp - USC (maybe)
Smart - Georgia
Non-SEC
Durkin - Maryland
Frost - UCF
Rolovich - Hawaii
Candle - Toledo
Smart money would be on Kirby. Expectations in UGA are ridiculous, a few 8 win seasons might be enough to have him canned. On the other hand, I would say Muschamp, if he got the job, would have the shortest leash. If his teams look like Florida again, he could be gone before he has time to find a house.
I would say the safest would be guys who are doing full rebuild jobs, Frost and Durkin.

Odom
We kept a coach for 15 years without a natty. Smart knows he hit the job security jackpot
Mizz on the other hand should be lucky to finish 6th in the East

It won't be Odom.
Mizzou might not be able to find another coach.

first of all, it's simply not possible for all schools to hire a proven HC. proven HC's have large buyouts and they have tendencies to be happy where they are winning and the fans love them.
so asst coaches are fertile ground to move up. also, as the HC's get old and retire (a la Spurrier and the guy at VT) upward mobility accelerates.
taking a chance on an "up and comer" assistant is much less expensive than stealing a successful HC from another program due to these buyouts. if the guy doesn't work out, fire him and give it another go with someone else.
