A lot of things to keep in mind here. It’s not a ranking of who is the best coach. It’s a ranking of how likely they are to be fired.
Performance is just one of those factors.
- Performance
- Expectations
- Years at school
- Salary
- Remaining contract length
- Buyout amount

At this point, I should be 20 spots higher than Pittman and Pittman should not be anywhere in the top 150.

There’s no way Mike Leach’s seat is that warm yet

Scott Frost as well
He was told by Osborn to "Come home" so I believe he'll have a longer leash than most

You are looking at it the wrong way. Sure, Pittman has exceeded expectations while O has failed to meet them, but look at this:
Salary per year
Ed O- 6 million
Pittman- 3 million
Contract Length remaining
Ed O- 6 years
Pittman- 5 years
Buyout
Ed O- 23,000,000
Pittman- None
Pittman was never a sexy pick from the get-go. Promoting an OL coach to head coach is not common at all. He’s done a nice job picking up a few wins, but with no buyout, he is two bad seasons away from getting fired with no real cost to the school.
Orgeron, on the other hand, would lose LSU a shite ton of money if he were to be fired.

I thought it was strange as well. Maybe they are thinking all of the MSU players quitting the team are putting him up there.
He also doesn’t have a buyout, so it kinda makes sense. If he has another awful year next year with players quitting the team for whatever reason, you gotta think Mississippi State might get a little tempted considering there’s no buyout.

In my mind, Gus is already fired to me. These rankings are bullshite if Gus isn't top 10.

Going from a nc and the greatest season of all time to the top 100 hot seat coaches is shocking. In one season.

Why not? That’s what Morris had. Two bad seasons.

Morris is a fricking high school coach, Pittman has legit college coaching experience unlike Chaggie.
Pittman will get 3 years at the least.

Pittman surpassed Chad's SEC win total for two whole years in two weeks. They aren't even remotely comparable. It is room temp IQ to think they would get the same leash.

Unless it is contract and budget related with the others, I refuse to believe Saban isn't the safest coach in CFB.
Posted on 12/5/20 at 6:39 am to diddlydawg7
Gus too high. He’s safe.

Saban not being #130 is laughable.

Saban’s seat is hotter than Lincoln Riley’s?
List is shite.
