Post Week 2 Coaches Hot Seat Rankings – Give These Hot Seat Coaches Hell Johnny!

 

Week 2 is done and what a Helluva Weekend of College Football it was and now it’s onto Week 3 and let’s bring out the Great Johnny Cash to give these Hot Seat Coaches Hell….Give Em Hell Johnny!

Thanks Mr. Cash!

Coaches Hot Seat Ranking

1.  Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M – There’s a lot of numbers one can look at when it comes to Jimbo Fisher’s tenure at Texas A&M but one record that is startling considering the amount of $$$ that Jimbo is being paid in College Station is this one >

Record Against FBS Teams With .500+ Records

20 – 20

Jimbo’s Overall Records at A&M not much better >

Overall: 40 – 22
SEC: 23 – 18

This is Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher is being paid Extraordinary Amounts of $$$ and has been given EVERYTHING one could wish for to win football games and yet in Jimbo’s 62 nd football game in College Station the Aggies went to Miami and got…

Totally Dominated!

We long ago gave up on anyone in College Station or Aggieland taking Winning seriously because it’s clearly not something that matters and it’s great timing that Texas is coming into the SEC Conference and no doubt the Horns will go back to Totally Dominating the Aggies in Every Damn Way because you see now…

Winning isn’t that important at Texas A&M and it’s a Total Damn Disgrace but again…Fully Expected…it’s Texas A&M after all!

Howdy!

 

2.  Danny Gonzales, New Mexico – New Mexico got a win over FCS Tennessee Tech in Week 2 and in Week 3 the Lobos have a chance to get on a mini-roll of sorts with a home game against New Mexico State and a game at UMass the next week and if Gonzales is going to get this thing turned around then this is THE MOMENT to perform!

 

3.  Butch Jones, Arkansas State – Arkansas State lost to Memphis 37 – 3 in Week and 2 and Butch Jones records at ASU now stand at >

Overall:  5 – 20
Sun Belt:  2 – 14

That’s enough said on the situation with Butch Jones at Arkansas State!

 

4.  Jeff Hafley, Boston College – BC almost lost to Holy Cross in Week 2 after losing to Northern Illinois in Week 1 and Jeff Hafley is hanging on by a thread with 10 games looming that all are going to be tough games to win the way the Eagles are playing >

Florida State
At Louisville
Virgina
At Army
At Georgia Tech
UConn
At Syracuse
Virginia Tech
At Pitt
Miami

This is going to be a long season on Chestnut Hill…a very long season!

 

5.  Neal Brown, West Virginia – Talk about BIG Football Games this Saturday’s Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia is a BIG One for Neal Brown who really cannot lose this game and drop to 1 – 2 on the season and really think he will be back to coach the Mountaineers in 2023!

In 5 seasons at West Virginia Brown is sitting on records of…

Overall:  22 – 26
Big 12:  14 – 21

…and has a Big 12 slate after the Pitt game that looks like losses around each and every corner >

Texas Tech
At TCU
At Houston
Oklahoma State
At UCF
BYU
At Oklahoma
Cincinnati
At Baylor

Geez…first up though…Brown has gotta beat Pitt on Saturday…he’s just gotta!

 

6.  Billy Napier, Florida – Billy Napier acts like he has all the time in the world to turn around the Florida football program and in 5, 6, or 7 years from now when the Gators make it to the SEC Championship Game all that time given to Billy Boy will be vindicated and….FULL DAMN STOP…

Memo to Billy Boy Napier:  The clock is ticking Son and your ass loses to Tennessee on Saturday with what Gators got left on the schedule in 2023 after the Vols…

Charlotte
At Kentucky
Vanderbilt
At South Carolina
Georgia
Arkansas
At LSU
At Missouri
Florida State

…the clock will have Struck Midnight and your ass is DONE so go ahead and turn the gas grill off because the Napier era is over in Gainesville, and we all know what time it would be…Yep…

Prime Time in Gainesville!

Billy Boy has gotta beat Tennessee on Saturday or the folks with the $$$ around the University of Florida will be holding and meeting to end all this Damn Nonsense…and quick!

 

7.  Dave Aranda, Baylor – After the home loss to Utah on Saturday Dave Aranda is now…

3 – 8

…in his last 11 games with the Bears and this Rolling Total Disaster in Waco is really just getting started because if you can’t beat a Utah team with lots of its star players out at home then how in Hell you gonna win many games at all playing in the Big 12 this season Son?

Here’s what left for Baylor in 2023 >

Long Island University = Cupcake
Texas
At UCF
Texas Tech
At Cincinnati
Iowa State
Houston
At Kansas State
At TCU
West Virginia

Got Dave Aranda is about to post a 2 nd straight losing season and Baylor Bears football is going right into the Damn river by their football stadium without a chance in Hell of getting out anytime soon?

That would be a BIG YES!

 

8.  Brent Pry, Virginia Tech – Can someone please explain to us what in the Hell is the point of Brent Pry being the Head Football Coach at Virginia Tech when a Drunk Bozo the Clown making $27.50 a year could have run a Hokies football field out on the field against Purdue and produced the same Crapola that Virginia Tech did last Saturday in Blacksburg?

You have no good answer to that question?

Good your ass is SANE then!

In his 2 nd season at Virginia Tech Brent Pry’s records are now..

Overall:  4 – 8
ACC:  1 – 6

…and seriously…

It looks like the Hokies players are coaching themselves with No Damn Coaching Staff at All!

Again we ask…what in the Hell is Brent Pry doing in Blacksburg besides Not One Damn Thing?

The Hokies have left in 2023….

At Rutgers
At Marshall
Pitt
At Florida State
Wake Forest
Syracuse
At Louisville
At Boston College
NC State
At Virginia

Damn…the Hokies are going to post a 2 nd straight losing season aren’t they and since this football team looks…

Totally Un-Coached

…they will have to run Brent Pry right out of town come early December…

Right?

If you said Right then your ass is SANE!

 

9.  Ken Wilson, Nevada – Talk about a Total Damn Disaster Ken Wilson has a Total Damn Disaster going at Nevada right now and since we live close by at Lake Tahoe we are watching this Total Damn Disaster unfold in-person and it’s…

Worse than a Total Damn Disaster for Nevada Football!

Ken Wilson is in his 2 nd season at Nevada and is sitting on records of…

Overall:  2 – 12
MWC:  0 – 8

…and Nevada has left to play in 2023 games against…

Kansas
At Texas State
At Fresno State
UNLV
At San Diego State
New Mexico
Hawaii
At Utah State
At Colorado State
Wyoming

Damn….maybe Nevada can win a couple of games in 2023 against New Mexico and Hawaii at home but really now…

This season is going to be a Total Damn Disaster and Nevada AD Stephanie Rempe who came to Nevada from LSU will be looking for a new Head Football Coach in a couple of months!

 

10.  Mario Cristobal, Miami – OK…OK…Miami beat Texas A&M on Saturday but come on now…

Bozo the Clown could beat Jimbo’s Aggies Football Team

…so Mario is still on the Hot Seat and if the Hurricanes are gonna do something in 2023 then the Tale Will Be Told with some interesting games coming up soon but not before a couple of Cupcake games…

Bethune-Cookman
At Temple
Georgia Tech
At North Carolina
Clemson
Virginia
At NC State
At FSU
Louisville
At Boston College

Really now…Miami should be 5 – 0 when they head to play North Carolina in Chapel Hill on October 14 and then host Now Weakling Clemson which is now in Total Chaos under Dabo and Hardly Existing Virginia so Hell…

Mario should be able to get off the Hot Seat here which will take 8 Wins Minimum because this is…

Miami after all!

 

11.  Brent Venables, Oklahoma – If they don’t have a mess on the field at Oklahoma they will create a mess off the field with Art Briles in Norman and messes seems to be the order of the day when it comes to the Brent Venables era at OU but Hey Now the Sooners at 2 – 0 and they have a fascinating game at Tulsa on Saturday that…should be a Win…but you just never know with Venables and these Sooners and they Gotta Win This Game because of what’s left on the 2023 schedule >

At Tulsa
At Cincinnati
Iowa State
Texas in Dallas
UCF
At Kansas
At Oklahoma State
West Virginia
At BYU
TCU

Oklahoma SHOULD Win 10 Games in 2023…SHOULD…will the Sooners Win 10 Games in 2023?

Probably Not but anything less than 8 Wins and Venables is fired Right?

Right!

 

12.  Mike Bloomgren, Rice – You gotta wonder how long Dana Holgorsen can hold on in Houston losing to teams like Rice but Rice got the win over the Cougars on Saturday and Mike Bloomgren’s records in 6 seasons at Rice now stand at…

Overall:  17 – 40
Conference:  12 – 25

That’s Not Good but this is Rice and the Owls have left in 2023 >

Texas Southern
At South Florida
East Carolina
UConn
At Tulsa
Tulane
SMU
At UTSA
At Charlotte
Florida Atlantic

Really now…Rice should get to at least a .500 record in 2023 so Bloomgren can get his ass off the Hot Seat but looking at the above schedule we would guess the Owls finish at…

4 – 8 or 5 – 7 maybe?

Let’s Play Football!

Post Week 1 Coaches Hot Seat Rankings – Give These Hot Seat Coaches Hell Johnny Cash – Let’s Play Football!

 

Week 1 is now in the books and with an Epic Week 2 of College Football os looming so let’s take a look at the Coaches feeling the heat as we really get this 2023 CFB Season underway.

Please come on out and give these Coaches Hell Johnny Cash!

Thanks Johnny!

1.  Danny Gonzales, New Mexico – With the opening season loss to Texas A&M Danny Gonzales is now sitting on records of…

Overa ll:  7 – 25
MWC: 3 – 20

…which ain’t gonna get things done in Albuquerque and the next 3 games against…

Tennessee Tech
New Mexico State
At UMass

…is an opportunity for the Lobos to get some wins on the board.

Recommend you win these next 3 games Son before the trip to Wyoming on September 30!

2.  Butch Jones, Arkansas State – With the opening season destruction of Arkansas State by Oklahoma Butch Jones is now sitting on records of…

Overall:  5 – 20
Sun Belt:  2 – 14

…and those are the kind of records will get you fired from Every Football Job in America and either Butch Jones will start winning some football games or he will be back in Tuscaloosa cleaning out closets for Nick!

Arkansas State’s next 3 games…

Memphis
Stony Brook
Southern Miss

You need to win ALL 3 of these games at home Son!

3.  Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M – We got a Humdinger of a Hot Seat vs. Hot Seat match-up in Week 2 with Jimbo Fisher vs Mario Cristobal and the Loser moving on up and the Winner loving life because the heat will be turned down…a bit…and really now this is a game that Jimbo Fisher in his 6 th season in Aggieland against a Very Average Miami team has…

Got To Damn Win!

Jimbo Fisher is now sitting on records with Aggies of…

Overall:  40 – 21
SEC:  23 – 18

…which is borderline what Drunk Bozo the Clown could do with all the resources given to a Coach in College Station and if the Aggies did lose this game to Miami look at what the Aggies have left in 2023 >

La. Monroe
Auburn
Arkansas in Dallas
At Alabama
Tennessee
South Carolina
At Ole Miss
Mississippi State
Abilene Christian
At LSU

This is Texas A&M so in his 6 th season Jimbo Fisher should have the Aggies rolling with 10+ Wins so there better Damn be 10 Wins on the board after the LSU game in late November but come on now…

Aggies have proved in recent years they will accept Total Mediocrity and Yell Out…

Howdy and Be Happy!

Texas A&M Football = We Are Damn Mediocre and will pay a Coach $10M A Year and Be Happy!

Got Worthless Candy Asses haven’t a Damn Clue what America is all about?

Yep…that’s the Aggies now!

4.  Jeff Hafley, Boston College – In his 4 th season at Boston College Jeff Hafley is sitting on records of…

Overall:  15 – 21
ACC:  9 – 17

…and after an opening season home loss to Northern Illinois 6 Wins is Mandatory to hang onto this BC job with these games left on the schedule >

Holy Cross
Florida State
At Louisville
Virginia
At Army
At Georgia Tech
UConn
At Syracuse
Virgina Tech
At Pitt
Miami

How in the Hell does BC win 6 games against those teams when they cannot beat Northern Illinois at home in Week 1?

No Clue!

5.  Neal Brown, West Virginia – With an opening season loss to Penn State things are getting darker in West Virginia for Neal Brown now sitting on records of…

Overall:  22 – 26
Big 12:  14 – 21

….and that ain’t gonna get it done at WVU and the Mountaineers have a Helluva Tough Schedule left to play in 2023 >

Duquesne
Pitt
Texas Tech
At TCU
At Houston
Oklahoma State
At UCF
BYU
At Oklahoma
Cincinnati
At Baylor

West Virginia will have a tough time getting to 6 Wins with that schedule and even just 6 Wins would probably be Turn Out the Lights on the Brown era in Morgantown.

6.  Mario Cristobal, Miami – Mario Cristobal is being paid $10M+ a year to Win Football Games at Miami and there are…

No Damn Excuses for Mario

…making that kind of $$$ who in Year 2 is now sitting on records of…

Overall:  6 – 7
ACC:  3 – 5

…with a schedule in 2023 that the Canes should win 10 Games Minimum…

Miami (OH)
Texas A&M
Bethune-Cookman
At Temple
Georgia Tech
At North Carolina
Clemson
Virginia
At NC State
At FSU
Louisville
At Boston College

If Miami is going to Win 10 Games in 2023 then they gotta beat Texas A&M at home so don’t lose this game at home to the Aggies Mario!

7.  Brent Venables, Oklahoma – Oklahoma is Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley didn’t have a problem winning immediately at OU and Brent Venables took over a Rolling Sooners Football Program and is now sitting on records of…

Overall:  7 – 7
Big 12:  3 – 6

…and with the SEC looming in 2024 Brent Venables better get this whole thing figured out this season because it will only get tougher in the next and now at 1 – 0 after a Cupcake Game in Week 1 the Sooners have left to play >

SMU
At Tulsa
At Cincinnati
Iowa State
Texas – Dallas
UCF
At Kansas
At Oklahoma State
West Virginia
At BYU
TCU

If Venables cannot Win 10 Games with that schedule his ass WILL HAVE NO DAMN CHANCE when the Sooners get the SEC!

8.  Billy Napier, Florida – A couple of us at Coaches Hot Seat were at Steve Spurrier’s 1 st game at Florida in 1990 and HBC didn’t exactly take over a great situation in Gainesville but he got the Gators rolling early and that’s what Billy Napier is gonna have to do too or this…

Billy Boy building a monument to his ideas and ego in Gainesville

…gonna be over before it ever gets out of the gate!

There is NO TIME to hire up a Zillion People and build something that might be good 5 years from now because what Deion Sanders has proved…

Your Ass Can Win Year 1

…and right now sitting on records of…

Overall:  6 – 8
SEC:  3 – 5

….this is quickly turning into a Raging Dumpster Fire in Gainesville that better be put out and quick or the entire Florida Athletics Building that was involved in hiring Billy Boy gonna find themselves out of a job!

After the opening season loss to Utah which was Totally Expected by us the Gators have left in 2023…

McNeese
Tennessee
Charlotte
At Kentucky
Vanderbilt
At South Carolina
Georgia in Jacksonville
Arkansas
At LSU
At Missouri
Florida State

Damn…can the Gators even get 6 Wins in 2023?

You think that Vols game in Gainesville on September 16 is big to the future of Billy Napier at Florida?

BEYOND BIG!

9.  Mel Tucker, Michigan State – Mel Tucker is making $9M+ a season coaching Michigan State so his ass…

Better Damn Be Performing at a High Level

…and records of….

Overall:  19 – 14
Big Ten:  12 – 13

…are Sub Bozo the Clown in the same position numbers and that’s why Mel better perform in 2023 or the Michigan State folks gonna have to choose between….

Writing A Big Check to end this Damn Mediocrity or Letting the Damn Mediocrity continue!

Now at 1 – 0 the Spartans have left in 2023…

Richmond
Washington
Maryland
At Iowa
At Rutgers
Michigan
At Minnesota
Nebraska
At Ohio State
At Indiana
Penn State

…is 7 Wins even on the table in 2023?

It should be 8 Wins EASY so let’s see what the $9M+ Coach can do because…

Your Ass Is Getting Paid Big Time So Damn Perform at a Level above Bozo the Clown Son!

10.  Dave Aranda, Baylor – The Stanford folks at Coaches Hot Seat have seen the movie now unfolding in Waco, Texas before with David Shaw at Stanford >

A Nice Guy who won some football games who refused to see the world as it is and thus…

Totally Destroyed A Football Program at Stanford!

Dave Aranda is following the same path as David Shaw sitting on his Lazy Ass expecting what he did in the past to work in the future and it was No Surprise to see Aranda bewildered after Baylor’s opening season loss to Texas State at home because you see now…

Dave Aranda Lives in a Total Fantasyworld!

The Real Question for the folks at Baylor is are they going to let Dave Aranda be a Total Lazy Ass and…

Totally Destroy Baylor Football

…like David Shaw did at Stanford or is someone going to call Dave into their office and say…

Get Off Your Lazy Ass Dave and Get To Work Son and if you don’t we are going to run your ass right out of Waco before you Destroy this Football Program!

Since winning the Big 12 in 2021 Dave Aranda’s record is…

6 – 8

…but it’s even worse than that because in his last 10 games Aranda’s record is…

3 – 7

…and here’s what the Bears have coming right at them in 2023 >

Utah
Long Island University
Texas
At UCF
Texas Tech
At Cincinnati
Iowa State
Houston
At Kansas State
At TCU
West Virginia

If things continue along as they now going with Baylor Football they will NOT win 6 Games this season so…

Memo to Dave Aranda:  Get off your Damn Lazy Ass Son and Don’t Destroy Baylor Football and if you do you will deserve to be run right out of Waco and NEVER be a Head Coach again!

11.  Mike Bloomgren, Rice – In 6 Seasons at Rice Mike Bloomgren’s records stand at…

Overall:  16 – 40
Conference:  12 – 25

After an opening game loss to Texas the Houston Cougs are up next so that’s 0 – 2 and that’s enough said on the situation at Rice!

12.  Tom Allen, Indiana – The Hoosiers looked pretty decent in their opening season loss to Ohio State and 0 – 1 Indiana has left in 2023 >

Indiana State
Louisville in Indianapolis
Akron
At Maryland
At Michigan
Rutgers
At Penn State
Wisconsin
At Illinois
Michigan State
At Purdue

6 Wins is Very Doable for Indiana in 2023 and it’s Really Doable if the Hoosiers can win their next 3 games including a Big Game against Louisville in Indianapolis!

Let’s Play Football!

#2 Hot Seat – Danny Gonzales, New Mexico

 

Give these Hot Seat Coaches Hell Johnny!

Thank You Mr. Cash!

#2 Hot Seat – Danny Gonzales, New Mexico

We haven’t a Damn Clue why Danny Gonzales hasn’t been more successful as Head Coach at his alma mater New Mexico, but whatever the Hell is going on…

It Ain’t Good…It Ain’t Good At All!

Overall:  7 – 24
MWC:  3 – 20

Certainly Gonzales has had Great Success as a Defensive Coordinator at San Diego State and Arizona State, but something is really messed-up at UNM and either it will get fixed in 2023 or they will be looking for a new Head Football Coach in Albuquerque come December!

Let’s take a look at New Mexico’s 2023 schedule to see where this thing is going >

At Texas A&M
Tennessee Tech
New Mexico State
At UMass
At Wyoming
San Jose State
Hawaii
At Nevada
UNLV
At Boise State
At Fresno State
Utah State

Come on now….in Year 3 at New Mexico there’s just No Damn Excuse to not win at least 6 Games with the above schedule! Come on Danny…get off your ass Son and start winning some football games!

Let’s Play Football!

#3 Hot Seat – Butch Jones – Arkansas State

 

We love you Johnny Cash and we would love to hear some Ring of Fire!

Thanks Johnny!

#3 Hot Seat – Butch Jones – Arkansas State

After the 2016 college football season Butch Jones was coming off his 2 nd straight 9 Win season at Tennessee and although 9 Wins at Tennessee isn’t Great it’s Not Too Bad of Football, but since 2016 Ole Butch has seen his career go downhill in a Helluva hurry with a 4 – 6 record in 2017, a few years on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, and now 2 seasons at Arkansas State where he has posted records of…

2 – 10 and 3 – 9

The folks at Arkansas State aren’t going to tolerate another 2 or 3 win season and really not going to tolerate Butch being around in 2024 unless he takes the Red Wolves to a bowl game this year and with that in mind let’s take a look at Arkansas State’s 2023 schedule >

At Oklahoma
Memphis
Stony Brook
Southern Miss
At UMass
At Troy
Coastal Carolina
At La. Monroe
Louisiana
At South Alabama
Texas State
At Marshall

Really now….if Butch Jones can’t Win 6 Games with that schedule in Year 3 on the job at Arkansas State….

#4 Hot Seat – Mario Cristobal – Miami

 

Oh Where Oh Where Are You Johnny Cash? There you are!

Thanks Mr. Cash!

#4 Hot Seat – Mario Cristobal – Miami

If you look at the 4 Head Coaches of the Miami Hurricanes that preceded Mario Cristobal in Coral Gables that either got fired or left because they didn’t like how things were being run at the school, you quickly see why Mario Cristobal better get the Good Ship Canes righted and quick because that 5 – 7 record that Mario put up in Year 1 wasn’t not only tolerated in the past….

ALL of those 4 Miami Head Coaches had Winning Records and are gone from the school!

Randy Shannon:  28 – 22
Al Golden:  32 – 25
Mark Richt:  26 – 12
Manny Diaz:  21 – 15

Mario Cristobal:  5 – 7

Oh Mario your ass better get things moving and QUICK Son or you are going to get your ass run right out of Miami and that brings us to the Canes 2023 schedule >

Miami (OH)
Texas A&M
Bethune-Cookman
At Temple
Georgia Tech
At North Carolina
Clemson
Virginia
At NC State
At Florida State
Louisville
At Boston College

Well…right off the bat we see that Bozo the Clown would win 7 Games Minimum coaching Miami in 2023 but how many games will Mario Win?

Well, he better Damn Win 8+ Games for starters but if we had to put $$$ down on the barrel-top on how many games that Miami will Win in 2023 we go with…

7 or 8

It Better Damn Be 8+ Wins Mario!

Let’s Play Football

#5 Hot Seat – Neal Brown – West Virginia

 

We are looking for the Great Johnny Cash to step right up and sing us some of his Ring of Fire!

Thanks Johnny!

#5 Hot Seat – Neal Brown – West Virginia

West Virginia isn’t an easy coaching gig being in the Big 12 Conference and having to travel so much to play football games but by our reckoning a Head Coach at WVU should average…

7.5 Wins A Season

…or be considered for the Hot Seat and in 4 years at West Virginia Neal Brown has won…

22 Games

….with Records of…

Overall:  22 – 25
Big 12:  14 – 21

Got Roaring Hot Seat for Neal Brown?

The Good Folks of West Virginia are only going to tolerate Mediocre Football for “X” amount of time and “X” happens to be Year 5 in Neal Brown’s case so either Neal performs in 2023 or they will be looking for a new Head Coach in Morgantown which brings us to the Mountaineers 2023 schedule >

At Penn State
Duquesne
Pitt
Texas Tech
At TCU
At Houston
Oklahoma State
At UCF
BYU
At Oklahoma
Cincinnati
At Baylor

Goodness that’s a TOUGH schedule and with Neal Brown needing 8 Wins Minimum to hang onto his job how in the world is West Virginia gonna Win 8 Games in 2023?

Our guess is WVU is sitting on 5 Wins when they travel to play at Baylor on November 25 and that ain’t gonna be a fun trip at all if that’s the case!

Let’s Play Football!

#6 Hot Seat – Jeff Hafley – Boston College

 

Give Em Hell Johnny Cash!

Thanks Johnny!

#6 Hot Seat – Jeff Hafley – Boston College

When you get right down to it Expectations and Not Meeting Expectations is what leads to College Head Coaches ending up on the Hot Seat and our Expectations for a Head Coach at Boston College aren’t high….not high at all…and if you are taking the Eagles to a bowl game every season you might end up on the Edge of the Hot Seat even if you are doing mediocre work but if you drop below .500 your ass will end up on the Hot Seat and that’s where Jeff Hafley is now!

In 3 seasons as the Head Coach at Boston Jeff Hafley has posted records of…

2020:  6 – 5
2021:  6 – 6
2022:  3 – 9

Overall:  15 – 20
ACC:  9 – 17

…and that’s some Mediocre Football alright and Hafley better right the Good Ship BC and do it in 2023!

Let’s go BC’s 2023 schedule >

Northern Illinois
Holy Cross
Florida State
At Louisville
Virginia
At Army
At Georgia Tech
UConn
At Syracuse
Virginia Tech
At Pitt
Miami

Boston College getting to 6 Wins in 2023 ain’t gonna be easy unless they really up their game and BC better be no worse than 3 – 2 when they head to play Army at West Point on October 7 on what should be a Beautiful Day on the Hudson River in Upstate New York!

Let’s Play Football!

#7 Hot Seat – Brent Venables – Oklahoma

 

Oh how we miss you Johnny Cash so what about some Ring of Fire?

Thank You Mr. Cash!

#7 Hot Seat – Brent Venables – Oklahoma

Hey now we would love to see Brent Venables Thrive, Grow, and win BIG at Oklahoma but having watched Brent closely going back to his days as Bob Stoops DC at OU we always has reservations about Brent’s ability to be a Head Coach on the FBS level especially at a place like Oklahoma which ain’t exactly the kind of place where you can make lots of mistakes and get away with them because…

It’s Freaking Oklahoma!

There’s just No Damn Reason for Brent Venables or Anyone Else to not win BIG at Oklahoma and Lincoln Riley in 5 seasons in Norman posted an Overall Record of…

55 – 10

…and we all know what Big Game Bob Stoops did at OU and if you have forgotten in 18 seasons at Oklahoma Bob posted an Overall Record of…

191 – 48

In Brent Venables first season at OU he posted a record of…

6 – 7

Nope…that’s not gonna get it done and in this last year in the Big 12 Conference before the Sooners head to Big, Bad, Tough SEC Conference Land Venables better Damn get things right at Oklahoma or this entire shindig could spiral into a Total Damn Disaster and in a Helluva hurry!

Let’s go to Oklahoma’s 2023 schedule to see where this train is going >

Arkansas State
SMU
At Tulsa
At Cincinnati
Iowa State
Texas in Dallas
UCF
At Kansas
At Oklahoma State
West Virginia
At BYU
TCU

Well…it goes without saying that OU better start 3 – 0 and if the Sooners lose one of those first 3 games you can Turn Out the Lights because this thing is OVER for Venables in Norma but if the Sooners do start 3 – 0 then 5 – 0 is a real possibility heading into Dallas to play Texas on October 7.

With Oklahoma’s roster they SHOULD Win…

10 Games in 2023

…and how many games will the Sooners actually Win….

7…maybe 8 Games in 2023

If the Sooners only Win 7 Games in their last year in the Big 12 they will be Damn Lucky to Win 7 Games in their first year in the SEC come 2024!

#8 Hot Seat – Mel Tucker – Michigan State

 

Hey, Hey, Hey Johnny Cash where have you gone? There you are with Ring of Fire!

Thanks Johnny!

#8 Hot Seat – Mel Tucker – Michigan State

The Thing about Mel Tucker is that no one really knows what Mel Tucker is all about as a Coach and that’s saying something since Mel has now been a Head Coach on the FBS level for…

4 Seasons now at Colorado and Michigan State

…and is sitting on Win/Loss Records of >

Overall:  23 – 21
Conference:  15 – 19

Also in 3 of those 4 seasons Tucker has put-up a Sub .500 records which ain’t a good sign at all which makes the 2023 season at Michigan State beyond Damn critical because another losing season and the folks in East Lansing will be looking at 8 Seasons remaining on Tucker’s fully-guaranteed contract at $9.5M A Season =

$76 Million Dollars Large!

So let’s get this straight now and remember that we have lots of experience with the Pac-12 Conference which been run by Damn Morons for 10+ years now so we Know Damn Idiocy when we see it >

Michigan State gave Mel Tucker a Fully Guaranteed Contract based upon 1 Good Season and he’s now sitting on a Career Winning % of….

.523

….and if posts another Sub .500 Record in 2023 the folks in East Lansing would owe Tucker…

$76M

…if they wanted to make a change?

That’s close to the Damn Idiocy in the Pac-12 and might even match it…exceed it nope since Larry and George Totally Destroyed a 108 Year Old Conference with Damn Idiocy not matched in the History of Humans on the Earth but what’s going on at Michigan State comes close now…it comes mighty Damn close to both the Pac-12 and Charlie Weis Damn Idiocy at Notre Dame and Kansas territory now!

Let’s go to Michigan State’s 2023 schedule to see what could unfold this Fall…

Central Michigan
Richmond
Washington
Maryland
At Iowa
At Rutgers
Michigan
At Minnesota
Nebraska
At Ohio State
At Indiana
Penn State

Well….Bozo the Clown would Win 6 Games coaching the Spartans in 2023 but how many games will Tucker Win?

A 4 – 0 start should be a real possibility for a coach in his 4 th season at Michigan State with 4 Home Games to start things off so 6 Wins should be a Total Layup but what will the Spartans record be this season?

We’ll go…

5, 6, or 7 Wins

Only 5 Wins and $76M Large or not Mel Tucker has to be fired even if bankrupts Michigan State University in its entirety just to prove what Total Damn Idiots are now running US Universities all across America such as the Pac-12 University Presidents who hired these 2 Damn Morons and let them Totally Destroy a 108 Year Old Conference!

Let’s Play Football and Come on Folks….Quit Hiring Damn Morons!

#9 Hot Seat – Billy Napier – Florida

 


Please step up on the stage and give these Hot Seat Coaches Hell Johnny!

Thanks Mr. Cash!

#9 Hot Seat – Billy Napier – Florida

Coming off a 6 – 7 record in 2022 in his first season as the Head Coach at Florida we have reminded ourselves that Nick Saban went 7 – 6 in his first season at Alabama but Billy isn’t Nick and Alabama in 2007 isn’t Florida in 2022 and this ain’t gonna be easy righting this ship in Gainesville mainly because the SEC is much more of a Bear in every way today than it was when Saban took over at Alabama.

The Biggest Issue facing Napier is that the Florida Gators Roster is about the 7 th or 8 th Best Roster in the SEC Conference right now and that’s why the Gators 2023 schedule is going to be Tough to Navigate…Very Tough!

At Utah
McNeese
Tennessee
Charlotte
At Kentucky
Vanderbilt
At South Carolina
Georgia in Jacksonville
Arkansas
At LSU
At Missouri
Florida State

We don’t see the Gators winning in Salt Lake City and they will beat McNeese which makes that Tennessee game in Week 3 the Pivotal Game on Florida’s 2023 schedule because a win over the Vols in this spot and they should be…

3 – 1

…heading to Lexington on September 30 and Kentucky always has a tough time beating the Gators at home or on the road.

Overall, this looks like another 6 Win Season for Florida in 2023 to us and can Billy Napier post back-to-back 6 Wins Seasons in Gainesville and keep his job?

The folks in Gainesville may have no choice but to swallow 2 straight .500 seasons because to buyout Billy it would probably be $10M+ and you then head to 2024 with your Head Coach still on the Hot Seat and how exactly do you get out of this Mediocrity?

You Gotta Take A Jump = Leapfrog Ahead of where you should be and to date we just haven’t seen Billy Napier doing anything at Florida like what Nick Saban did at Alabama to Leapfrog anyone else in the SEC and that reality has got to scare the Hell outta the folks in Gainesville with the SEC only getting Tougher in 2024 with Texas and Oklahoma coming into the Conference!

#10 Hot Seat – Mike Bloomgren – Rice

 

We never tire of hearing from the Great Johnny Cash!

Thank You Johnny!

#10 Hot Seat – Mike Bloomgren – Rice

Mike Blooomgren has now been the Head Coach at Rice for 5 seasons posting records of…

2018:  2 – 11
2019:  3 – 9
2020:  2 – 3
2021:  4 – 8
2022:  5 – 8

…which shows improvement but still Bloomgren’s Overall Records at Rice stand at >

Overall:  16 – 39
Conference:  12 – 25

Hardly inspiring and now going into his 6 th season and Rice entering the American Athletic Conference this is going to be a challenging year indeed for the Owls with this schedule >

At Texas
Houston
Texas Southern
At South Florida
East Carolina
UConn
At Tulsa
Tulane
SMU
At UTSA
At Charlotte
Florida Atlantic

That looks like 4 Wins to us and the real question here is >

Can Mike Bloomgren survive another losing season which would make 6 for 6 losing seasons at Rice?

We haven’t a clue if Bloomgren can survive that or not because we haven’t a clue what Rice’s goals are with its football program!

Winning?
Survival?
Just Existence?
Nothing Really?

No idea but…

Let’s Play Football!

#12 Hot Seat – Greg Schiano – Rutgers

 

Let’s bring in the Great Johnny Cash to get Coaches Hot Seat rolling in 2023!

Thanks Johnny!

#12 Hot Seat – Greg Schiano – Rutgers

Greg Schiano is entering his 15 th season as the Head Coach at Rutgers in 2023 and in…

5 of the past 14 seasons Rutgers has had a .500 or Better Record

….and Schiano’s Overall Records at Rutgers now sit at >

Overall:  80 – 89

Big East + Big Ten:  34 – 68

This will be Schiano’s 4 th season coaching Rutgers in the Big Ten and his record in Big Ten play is >

6 – 20

Not Good comes to mind immediately and thus why Schiano enters the 2023 season sitting on the #12 Hot Seat and looking over Rutgers schedule this year we are wondering how the Scarlett Knights are going to get to a .500 record this season?

Northwestern
Temple
Virginia Tech
At Michigan
Wagner
At Wisconsin
Michigan State
At Indiana
Ohio State
At Iowa
At Penn State
Maryland

Maybe Rutgers can start 3 – 0 with Northwestern which is Total Chaos after the former #1 Hot Seat Coach Pat Fitzgerald got his ass run for what appears to be Lots of Outrageous Damn Nonsense in Evanston and then beat Temple and Virginia Tech at home and we’ll give Rutgers a Win over Wagner in Week 5 so that’s 4 Wins….

Can Rutgers win 2 of their 8 remaining Big Ten Games in 2023?

We would sure the Hell hope so!

Really now….if Greg Schiano can’t get Rutgers to 6 Wins in his 4 th season at Rutgers coaching in the Big Ten when exactly is his ass going to do that?

Got NEVER?

7 Wins = Pretty, Pretty Good and Some Progress for Schiano….Finally!
6 Wins = OK….Keep the Job for another season
5 Wins or Less = Turn Out the Lights because This Party Should Be Over!

Welcome to the 17th Season of Coaches Hot Seat in 2023! – The Utter and Total Destruction of the Pac-12 Conference….by Damn Morons!

 

Hello and Welcome to the 17 th season of Coaches Hot Seat covering the great game of College Football!

Whoa Nellie! Little did we think when we cranked-up Coaches Hot Seat in January 2007 that we still be throwing in our comments from the peanut gallery on Coaches on the Hot Seat and All Other Things we care to talk about in this Crazy World still in the year 2023 and yet here we are so let’s…

Keep This Baby Rolling!

There’s a Helluva Lot we have said on Twitter about the Total Destruction of the Pac-12 Conference the last 14 years under Larry Scott and George Kliavkoff, but really what that Destruction came down to is this >

2 Totally Clueless Pac-12 Commissioners hired by Dozens of Pac-12 School Presidents over a decade-plus led to the only place it could lead…

The Utter and Total Destruction of the Pac-12!

We warned in this very place on the Coaches Hot Seat Blog within 90 days of Larry Scott being hired as the Pac-12 Commissioner in 2009 that Larry…

Posed A Clear and Present Danger to the Future Success and Existence of the Pac-12 Conference

…and within 180 days of George Kliavkoff being hired as the Pac-12 Commissioner in 2021 we said the same thing but also added…

George Kliavkoff is Dumber than Larry Scott and Poses an Even Greater Threat to the Pac-12 than Larry and Yep as we predicted over and over again on Twitter going back to the Fall of 2021….

The Pac-12 has been Utterly and Totally Destroyed by Very Damn Stupid People who really have no business Shoveling Shit for a Living forget about running a Billion $$$ Enterprise like the Pac-12….which is No More and it was No Surprise to anyone at Coaches Hot Seat!

It was a Great 108 Year Run and we have 400+ Pac-12 Alums who are Members at Coaches Hot Seat who are really bummed about the end of this once Great Conference of Champions but again…

When you hire Total Damn Morons expect Total Damn Destruction!

Save the above we are Ready, Rested, Tanned, and Fired-Up for the 2023 College Football Season so away we go and as ALWAYS….

Let’s Play Football!
