I think Freeze is here for the long haul.

Ole Miss-Freeze is still around.

Auburn-Chizik (probably fired after this season or next)

MSU- Mullen is strange. I could see him leaving in the next year or two but it wouldn't surprise me if he stayed either

LSU- I think the Les Miles era is about to come crashing down. Gary Patterson would be my best guess at a replacement.

Arkansas- Obviously John L. isn't going to be around after this year but who is his (realistic) replacement?

Alabama- Saban stays for as long as he wants. If he retires before 2017 then Smart, if he hasn't bolted, will be promoted.

Texas A&M- Sumlin is still around.

Mullen will have been the first male to do a spread for Playboy in the next 5 years.

Sumlin, Freeze, and maybe Merlins. I think Saban rides out into the sunset next year after his 3rd natty in a row.

Yeah because one of the winningest active coaches is about to come crashing down. More like Freeze won't be around 5 years from now because either 1.) Ole Piss will still suck and he'll get the boot or 2.) He'll make a name for himself and bolt for a better job.

He's losing control of the team. Inconsistant play on offense and a defense that is looking more and more vulnerable with each passing season. It's not a knock against LSU. I just don't think Les can hold on for much longer.

Negative. Said multiple times even before he was here that Ole Miss was his dream job.

Huh? Our defense has been better the last two years than at any other point during Miles' tenure.

Last year, yeah I'll give you that. This year just hasn't been overly impressive IMO. Maybe that's because of the huge drop off from last year or maybe I haven't watched enough of y'alls games.

Bama - Saban's getting old, but he'll probably live to 200, getting more surly each year. Unfortunately, will be around.

LSU - Uncle Lester will manage to piss off the fans about every other year, but is way too good to lose, and way too weird to be hired anywhere else.

MSU - Mullen won't be fired. Ever. If he didn't pursue/get offered the UF job in '10, he's probably not going anywhere. He stays.

ole miss - Freeze, I see being sort of like an annoyingly religious version of Mullen. Stays.

Arkansas - Johnelle is out. Will be interesting.

auburn - not a chance in hell Chizik is around.

aTm - That guy whose name I havn't bothered to learn will be fired for shitting the bed late in games, only to be replaced by another guy whose name I won't bother to learn, who will also be fired for shitting the bed in close games.

5 years is forever in college football. Backtrack 5 years to 2007 season.

Saban started at 7-6. Miles won the NC.

...and these fellers...
Orgeron, Croom, Nutt, and Tuberville. 2 didn't survive 2007. 2 didn't survive 2008.

Truthfully, I can see Saban and Miles and 5 new coaches 5 years from now.

LSU's defense is fine. I don't know what you're smoking. Great coordinator, great talent, great scheme, and great rankings so far this season. As another poster already said, the last 2 defenses were the best under Miles and they are currently ranked third in total defense.

The biggest surprise this season for LSU is the mediocre special teams play. LSU is usually much better in the third phase of the game.
