Which coaches get the axe after 2013-2014?

I ask this because, aside from football and a few other sports, we are seeing a noticeable decline in our more visible sports.
Here's my guess:
-None of the coaches who were hired under Groff and survived Byrne will be fired. That means that, aside from a major scandal, a medical condition, or death, G. Guerreri, Lauri Corbelli, J.T. Higgins, Steve Bultman, and Jo Evans will coach until they don't want to anymore.
-Blair and Henry will not be fired. Both have significantly elevated their programs, but are getting up there in age.
-The other coaches of the non-revenue sports haven't done anything to lose their jobs.
-Sumlin is only in year 2 and hasn't shown any signs of letting up.
Which brings us to the two main coaches in question:
Billy Kennedy - Already discussed ad nauseum. If he doesn't make the NCAA Tournament, he's done. Period. End of Story.
Rob Childress - This one is dicey. On one hand, he didn't have the declining failure that Johnson did. On the other hand, his coaching style is clearly not working in the SEC. Right now, the baseball team is in danger of failing to make the SEC Tournament after starting the season in the top 20. Another year of this (year 9) and there would be no reason for Hyman not to pull the trigger.
Your thoughts?

Both should be fired, but only Childress has any chance of actually being fired.

You seriously don't think Kennedy will get fired after year 3 if we fail to make the dance for 3 straight years, in year 3 of a 5-year deal with a $500,000 buyout?
Edit: or are you talking about Childress getting fired THIS year?

Childress isn't going anywhere, save for him being caught with a dead hooker or a live boy. The expectations entering the season were such that most people anticipated 2013 to be a rebuilding year. Yes, the lack of offense is a concern but he's safe for now.
I get the sinking feeling that Kennedy will be the special type of mediocre that will hang around for a long time a la Andy Kennedy at Ole Miss. He finished the year's recruiting class strong by signing a top 5 JUCO pickup (the best unsigned player available). He'll mold the team that will play just good enough for Hyman to keep him around a little longer.
He'll probably be safe if we make it to any postseason tournament next year.

So Billy Kennedy sucks and can't wait till he packs his bags.
Met Childress and he is as big of a douche as Condoleezza Rice so frick that cock sucker.

I was referencing this year.
Childress has proven over time to be an incompetent offensive coach.

Didn't read, but let me guess.
Billy Kennedy...
I like you, CGSC.

I actually posted this because there's been rumblings about Blair and Childress.
We already know the deal with Kennedy.

Kennedy is well covered territory. I'm obviously unhappy with him although your obsession with him is certainly entertaining 
Childress shouldn't be fired after this year considering the expectations. Next year will be huge for him though and I must say I am losing faith in his ability to lead our program to the next level with all the resources at his disposal. That comes more from how last season ended though than this year.

rumbling about Blair? why? You mean rumblings he may retire? Save for sleeping with a player I just don't see how he would ever get fired.

There have been reports of problems in the locker room starting with the departure of Standish. The transfer of Peyton Little (our #1 recruit last year) has added some fuel.

To add something here, Jo Evans may get fired next season if she has a repeat of this season. The Ags are 6-12 in conference and will likely fail to make the SEC tournament.
Childress is now in danger of falling below .500 this year.
Both were COMPLETELY unprepared for the move.
