I am upset that Drinkwitz's name isn't on this list. Have you noticed his team has been slowly declining over the years and the W-L record has been going backwards since that one magical season beating OSU in the bowl game.

1. Lincoln Riley, USC
2. Mike Norvell, Florida State
3. Lane Kiffin, LSU
4. Luke Fickell, Wisconsin
5. Mike Locksley, Maryland
6. Shane Beamer, South Carolina

I think the logic here is that unless they absolutely bottom out, he's not getting canned. He will survive 5-7+ most likely but would probably be on this list in 2027 in that scenario.

Drinkwitz got a raise and extension for having a worse winning % than what Brian Kelly got fired for

Pretty sure Sark's name needs to be on the list after last year's traveshamockery

Why haven’t you replied to your dogshit “Alabama lost their opening regular season game to Washington State” thread, coward?

Drinkwitz is overachieving IMO

Norvell should've been canned at the end of last season

Kiffin should do fine as long as the QB is healthy but it's a tough schedule

I would be surprised if Fickel doesn't get the axe.

Lincoln Riley and Beamer-nerd are skating on very thin ice

Locksley who cares

how the hell is Sark not on this list. This isn't my lack of faith in him speaking. Think about it. He fired a dc that many thought did a great job to hire Muschamp so he could, in his own words, focus on the offense.

So what happens when we still struggle on offense? At some point he has to answer for it.

It's not on the list because he never crosses the mind of anyone outside of Mizzou.

If Sark fails to have an offense in the top half of the SEC again like last year, the only coach that’s safe (besides himself, of course) is the assistant head coach who left his family for a stripper and her monkey.

Nice to see some logical UTranny fans for a change

He ignores those threads every time.

See his Super Regional predictions in that thread

Imagine going 2/8 the only teams he got right were Georgia and West Virginia

Sark has more to lose in 2026 than Lane IMO.

Big Poppa and Washington State say otherwise.

3. Lane Kiffin, LSU

This is just media drama...

The rest are guys who have been there awhile and have been disappointing.

Kiffin is going into year 1 at a team that finished 7-5, and he has to replace the QB, WRs, and install a new offensive scheme. We at LSU would like to see immediate success, but it can take some time. We think he's the right guy, we were willing to go out and get him when he was still involved with a playoff team. So, it's fair to say he's gonna be given a little time to settle in.

I’d add Kalen DeBoer to that list. They lost 3 regular season games and lucked their way into the CFP where they got prison shower room arse raped. Another season like that and the folks in T-Town will be looking for bricks to send though his window.

No he's not. He shits the bed against every ranked team they play. His winning percentage is padded by the dog shite OOC schedule they play every year. Playing a road game at UMASS should be a bannable offense in the SEC.

Yeah, there's no way Kiffin's got more at stake than DeBoer. This is not a troll on Bama fans, this is respecting what they had established under Saban and the expectations there. He probably has to make the semi's this year or his seat gets hot.

Why is Kiffin's name even on the list? He has nothing to lose. It's his first year. Unless he goes 0-12, after leading every game going into the 4th quarter and making stupid decisions to lose the games... he's got nothing to lose. Right?

Honestly, you're right. I got downvoted for saying DeBoer should be above Kiffin, but if both teams go 9-3 and miss the playoffs- LSU made a 2 game improvement, and Bama is stagnating and dropping off.
