In the spirit of the question then...

If the wheels come off, I would pick Arkansas. Most think Arky is on the right track, but if that SEC record does not improve then Bert could come off as really inept if he starts making excuses or deflecting.

I do not think Arkansas has unrealistic expectations, but they seem pretty insistent (rightfully so) that the team improves this year. One star rb already out, B Allen expectations etc. it could all come crashing down.

None are likely, but Sumlin is under the most pressure to produce.

If Vandy goes 0-8 in the SEC again, getting destroyed in almost every game again, Mason is probably gone.


On the other hand if Vandy wins 2 SEC games they have just as good a coach as Arkansas.

There are only 3. LSU, Bama, and Auburn.

I'm putting all my marbles on Brandon Allen. As he goes, we go.


That doesn't give much confidence, but I think the kid has a stellar year. The OC change to get a real QB coach, which I had been yelling for since the early days of the Bert hire, by all reports is doing wonders for the QB's.

I think Arkansas is set up for a good year as well.

I was just thinking the Arkansas fan base has been pretty patient after going through the Petrino motorcycle thing, the smith year, a rough first year for Bert.

Last year Arkansas looked good and lost some really close games. It would be hard to accept any regression (again, hypothetical, I do not really see that happening.)

Unless a team falls flat on their face which could happen, they are all safe IMO.

Yeah, I think all SEC coaches are safe next year, but I would look for lots of uncomfortable staffs in the East the following year.
