IMO, the two “hottest” are Lincoln Riley and Bill Belechek.

Riley-no one does less with more than this guy. Treats defense as an afterthought. Unless they make the playoffs, I think he’s out after this year.

Belechek-great NFL HC but clearly WAAAY out of his element as a college coach. UNC looks absolutely hapless and I think they pull the plug on him after this year.

Oddly enough, barring something crazy (e.g. selling crack out of his office), I don’t see any HCs in the SEC getting fired.

Sark, Rhule, and Beamer are 3 other guys who probably need to reach certain benchmarks this season to be safe. Playoffs, 9 wins, and a winning season respectively. Norvell's seat is engulfed in flames but it's so well insulated by mountains of cash that it'll be a couple more years before it's hot.

When reading ESPN’s Big 12 preview I remember thinking “Dave Aranda is still employed?” so I guess that’s gotta be my answer

Mike Norvell's seat is probably pretty hot.

If they hadn't beaten us last year he'd probably be fired already.

FSU is the financially illiterate middle class family of CFB. You know the one. The people who own a 2025 Suburban, 2024 F-250, an RV, 2 jet-skis, a pool, and a Disney annual pass + Orlando timeshare without the kind of jobs that allow you to buy those things. Looks nice on the outside, but they're fricking broke and up to their eyeballs in credit card debt + 2 mortgages. They can't afford to fire him.
