I think it'll certainly be:

Freeze and Sumlin

Stoops is on the fringe as well as Jones, but I think they do just enough to stick around.

If Vandy does awful look out for Derek Mason to be canned as well.

Just saying that's possible. You guys have low expectations so I doubt it'll really happen if he only gets 3-4 wins this year. But who knows

I think Jones and Sumlin top the list. If UT under performs again this year and they keep Jones they are fools and will be a bottom feeder for the next decade.

As other mentioned, I'd go with Sumlin, Freeze, and Jones. Assuming they have sub-par seasons again. If Mason manages 5-6 wins he'll be a god in Nashville

I think ol' Bret's seat is beginning to warm up in Fayetteville, but I can't imagine he'd be done after next season unless they are absolutely awful.

They cant fire Freeze...it would cause a wave of mass suicides related to kool-aid in North Mississippi.

What's the maximum of head coaches being fired in the SEC in one year? 3? 4?

Maybe not necessarily fired, but head coaching vacancies in one year for the SEC? So moving to a better job, NFL, or retiring, plus the firings? 3? 4?

If it's 4, I may change it to Jones, Sumlin, Freeze, and Stoops all getting fired this year.

Yep. I'm running down the list in my head and the others who may or may not underperform this year haven't been on the job long enough to get fired (Smart, Orgeron, Muschamp)

A&M is a strange situation. It's basically like nobody wants sumlin there and he is holding the school hostage because the buyout is so large and he's just collecting a paycheck. Not sure he even has expectations for the season.

Also, where is TJ? He will want to add Coach Mac to the list.

Still think Malzahn is one more 7-6 year to be fired as well. Only two or three coaches are truly safe for a while.

Didn't Freeze get a big contract extension with a large buyout? I just assumed he was going with the ship when it finally sinks.

In regards to Sumlin I think this is the last year. I agree with some that why is he still around but Herman inherited a really good roster and if Texas wins this year(more success then a&m) Sumlin is gone.

Ole Miss is facing LOIC and Freeze was flagged for Failure to Monitor and he's still pulling a salary today. Freeze is safe.

If he loses at least 2/3 to LSU/UGA/Bama again then there might be a strong case for a change.

Prayin' for ya, buddy. Tenn's got the dough to go get a big hire, no reason to keep the guy who continually underachieves.

People keep saying stoops and mason... Kentucky was an absolute dumpster when stoops got there and he's turned them into a pretty decent program. Vandy, when Mason got there, had to rebuild that roster and team from the dirt up because he had nothing left from Franklin's tenure.

Honestly, those two I think are close to the bottom of the list in terms of getting canned.
