Yes he is. They went 2-10 and 4-8 in his first two years. If they don't make a bowl he will probably be fired and even a 6-6 season might not save him. Maryland looks crazy for getting rid of Friedgen. Also when you search his name google wants to add hot seat after his name.

The 4-8 was also with a freshman LB at QB after 4 QBs had season ending injuries. Not sure that it's fair to take anything from that year.

No, it's not fair but do you think the alumni there or anywhere else take that into consideration?

But when you drive kids away from the school it effects the depth of each position. He has had like 13 players transfer since he has been there. I think it is funny that maryland has done this to itself.

I don't get why anyone would think Fisher is on a hot seat or should be. First two years he won 10 and 9 games while cleaning up after Bowden. Last year 12-2 and a 3rd straight bowl win. The idea that it's the most talented team is highly debatable and subjective. He's done a fine job of getting that program back to where it should be after Bowden let it slip in his final years. They'll be a force in the coming years.

I agree.

When it comes to pure talent, most years FSU has more than all but a few SEC teams. 'Bama, Florida, maybe LSU. Sure they disappoint.

That's because the majority of those kids that are at those SEC programs and FSU have been playing with and against one another since little league football on up thru high school, especially in the Florida, Georgia and Alabama region.

Texas leads the OU series 59-43-5 but Brown is only 6-9. He's riding a 3 game losing streak where UT has been OUTSCORED 148 to 58, a margin of 30 points per game.

I was in Austin two years ago (summer 2011) for the Texas HS Coaches Kickoff luncheon and it ended with a roundtable discussion featuring Mack Brown and his two newly hired hotshot coordinators, Bryan Harsin (34 y/o OC from Boise State) and Manny Diaz (37 y/o DC from Miss State). Despite coming off a 5-7 season, the excitement was palpable. Brown was lauding these young prodigies as the program's saviors and vowing to restore Texas' rightful place among college football's elite. I'm not a Texas fan but I was drinking the burnt orange koolaid spewing out of Brown's mouth.

Well, a little more than two years later, Harsin used Texas as a springboard to a HC position at Arkansas State and Diaz presided over one of the worst defenses in Texas' illustrious history before getting canned after week 2 of this season.

IMO, Brown is a dead man walking and not even a blowout victory over Oklahoma will change his fate. At this point it's a matter of when, not if, he's out in Austin.

Charlie Weis and the Jayhawks stunned OU for all of about one quarter. Then talent asserted itself.

Next week it gets worse against the point a minute Baylor Bears. Then TX, OKSt, WVU, ISU, and KSU. ISU should be favored by about 8 and KSU a dozen or so. Looking bleak from here.

Of the higher paid coaches Randy Edsall took another hit yesterday losing by 3 TDs+ to weak Wake Forest. In addition he also lost two WRs for the season.

He catches Clemson next week who will be looking to pound somenone the way they got pounded by FSU.

He should pick up a win of Syracuse but should get hammered by VT the next week. BC and NC St can't be penciled in as wins either.

They should get 6 wins but after their fast starts the season went south. A 6-6 season woulld make him 12-24 or so by the end of the season. Not what was in mind when Fridge was let go.

Grantland's Chris Brown (of Smart Football fame) just published an article on Baylor's offense. It's worth a read for the schematic analysis alone, but I'm posting it here because he echoes what a couple posters here have previously argued about Briles' leaving for a "better" job:

Baylor's offense (and its apparently improved defense) has made the Bears national title contenders, but with success comes attention, and speculation that Briles could be lured to a high-profile head coaching job elsewhere has begun. I'm not so sure. Briles is Texas through and through, and he's had great success recruiting Texas high school players who grew up playing in versions of the offense he started popularizing more than 15 years ago. Combine this with his healthy salary at Baylor — $2.2 million — and the new stadium set to open next fall, and it's understandable if the 57-year-old Briles prefers to enjoy what he's helped build.

There is one job, however, that he could be forgiven for considering: head coach of the University of Texas. That job has yet to officially become open, though odds seem to be good that this is Mack Brown's last season as the Longhorns' head coach. Such speculation is premature, but it nevertheless adds an extra bit of intrigue for when the Longhorns travel to Waco in early December for both teams' regular-season finale. That game could decide the Big 12 title and, possibly, whether an undefeated Baylor deserves a spot in the national championship game — a scenario that would have been beyond imagining even a few years ago.

These days, though, Baylor has earned attention not only in Texas but throughout the country. This past summer, while speaking to a gathering of Texas high school coaches, Mack Brown was asked how to stop Baylor. Mack shrugged before saying, "I mean, nobody stops Baylor."

I would love to see Baylor in the NCG.

If he loses to UGA and finds himself 0-3 against the Dawgs he may become unemployed sooner rather than later. After Spurrier and Meyer absolutely owned the Dawgs a three game losing streak will not be tolerated in Gainesville.

Bret Bielema has yet to learn the razorbacks pig call. It goes like this Bret - wooooo, pig, sooie! Thank goodness for a bye week Bret. It will give you two weeks to practice the call before Arkansas fans chase you behind across the Ozarks, and back to Madison, Wisconsin. What was Bielema thinking or drinking, when he chose to leave the Badgers for the backwoods. Kissin' cousins rolling around in the attic can keep you up at night!

Bielema will be around for a while. I think most people knew he would have an uphill climb for a few years trying to implement his style of play there. even though the scores of the games don't look good, I can see he is making progress.

Boom Muschamp is fine for another year or so. But if he doesn't get an offense next season he will be feeling the heat. And he should with all those athletes he has a chance to recruit in that state. My advice... show B. Pease the door now. Never been a fan of his offensive play calling anyway.

I love to Baylor play somebody of consequence to get to the NCG. Sagarin has them with the 100th toughest schedule.
