Harbaugh needs to be way higher. Napier lower. Pittman is about right

I think Jimbo has to run the table rest of the year. If he does he's probably safe.

Sam Pittman is way too low on this list. I can't see him being back in any scenario.

Aranda has really crapped the bed. Really thought he would do better

But you'd be better off if he was! Florida deserves much better.

Fisher is done, and he knows it. I'll be surprised if he isn't gone by the second week of December. No idea who replaces him but doesn't matter. Just get a young recruiter that is willing to actually let the coordinators do their job.

Not that simple. I think he gets another season despite losing the better part of the 2024 recruiting class before early signing day.

I don't think Pittman is the first to be fired. I think there are surprisingly good odds he gets shown the door or moved into a fundraiser type.

But I think he finishes out the season at the very least. Some of these folks have a lot more heat on them and the vultures are circling.

This list is almost identical to the list of coaches who SEC rivals said LSU should have hired before it hired Kelly. The only one missing from the list is Mel Tucker.

Think Jimbo “buys” another year. Too much money still. I think Harbaugh is gone but not fired. I think Aranda gets another year. Napier seems to be doing better so another year.

I like Pitman at 14-1. Hell the state of Arkansas is on the hottest seat. Put Jones at 1B

Trust me, Napier was never on that list. He and his troops self invented that rumor hoping to gain traction. It didn't.

This seems confusing?

He can’t win after years of trying and great recruiting classes.

If they could keep their recruiting class ok maybe he can finally turn it around (lol).

But the only thing of any value is the recruits. Once they start leaving then nothing is left. It would make more sense to can him this year to keep the 24 class.

And don’t forget if 24 recruits are flipping then its likely there will be a big exodus of portals too.

Keep him too long and lose qny chance of keeping existing top players plus future commits.

And waiting too long hurts the next coach too. Once hired they have to work hard to keep the 24 class and convince the current players.

A year from now it might be really bad and that too could hurt which coach might want to come in if all the talent has left. Right now they still have some talent.

I think timing is a huge deal and sooner is better (and they are screwed on the buyout costs - but they signed that deal so no mercy)
