re: Which first time Head Coach gets fired first?

I disagree with your comment.

I like Odom as Mizzou's HC...... Odom wants to be at Missouri. Not using the job as a stepping stone but I feel he plans on staying for a long time. Congrats Missouri.

Getting back on the OP..... I feel llike Smart will be the first person to be fired!! Not quit... but FIRED out of all the new coaches.

Reasons..... SEC EAST getting tough with all the new coaches the last few years. UTK, FLA. And the teams are slowly getting better. Pressure will be on Smart to win and win early.....

Second, Smart has absolutely NO HC EXPERIENCE. taking his first HC job in the SEC is ridiculous. WIll be a rough undertaking for a newbie.

Durkin at Maryland was my close second.... Maryland playing in the Big Ten annually playing Penn State, Ohio St, Michigan and MIch state will be brutal. Other then Under Armour, how is Maryland going to recruit players....
