2023 CBS College Football Hot Seat Rankings

[Whitey23]

The Hot Seat Rankings have long been an accurate predictor in terms of job security. Over the last five years, 30 of the 43 coaches rated 4 or worse in the preseason eventually lost their jobs (70%). That includes seven of eight last season; Syracuse's Dino Babers was the lone coach to survive following a slightly improved 7-6 campaign.

Entering the 2023 season, there are eight seven coaches firmly on the proverbial hot seat (rated 4 or higher) following the Monday night firing of Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald. However, you can be sure there will be far more than eight job changes as that damn coaching carousel is always spinning no matter the expectations entering a
given year.

Dino's 2023 pre-season grade: 4 (Start improving now)

Even if we go 6-6, which would not be an improvement, they won’t fire him. Bowl or bust is what his rating should mean

It’s easy to forget we were 6-0 last season with Clemson on the ropes late in the 2nd half

True, but I definitely remember and it pains me still. 2018 against them still does too, we were ACC champs if we had hung on against them. Sigh. Allen back is making me feel 7-5 this year
