Hottest seats going into 2016

Personally, I'm leaning towards Sumlin and Malzahn having the hottest seats right now (even more so than Miles), but all 3 are certainly under some serious scrutiny right now.
That's not all because of Alabama, either. Texas A&M has watched both Mississippi schools slide past them, with Ole Miss being significantly ahead and MSU finishing with the stronger win total in 2015. Auburn finished dead last in the SEC West - this has been the death knell for the last three coaches. Will the trend continue?
Miles has had the most success of those three coaches, but his level of talent would imply he should be winning 10 games a year - how long will LSU fans tolerate 9 win seasons?
While Freeze is certainly comfortable, will OM fans begin to get frustrated with big individual wins but zero titles? Two wins over eventual SEC Champs Alabama in the past two years have equated to zero championships thanks to late season collapses. If Freeze has a bad season, will the OM faithful turn on him?
How long will Mullen last without his superstar QB? He certainly benefited from Dak; it will be interesting to see how well he does with a new QB. MSU is a notoriously difficult place to win.
Arkansas has much the same issue as OM. Big wins, very competitive - but never cresting over the hump and finishing with records that are unimpressive. Continual improvement have Hog fans hopeful, but the question is now if Bret has reached his maximum potential.
Saban is all powerful. His seat could only be colder if he was coaching an Antarctic-based hockey team.
Thoughts?

There's literally a 4 page thread on the front page on this topic you kraut bastard.

Not sure Saban knows hockey. The travel/team costs would be extrordinary for an Antarctic-based team. Plus, not a lot of revenue to be generated from local fans. I imagine the team would have to be extraordinarily dominant to succeed. So, I disagree Saban would find better job security there.
And...
I think the other thread is better.

It's between Malzahn and Sumlin.

Sumlin.
Malzahn has not provided negative PR to his program and employer. Sumlin has.
