Message: [QUOTE="MSOrange, post: 1666039, member: 630"] All of the bubble talk got me thinking about coaches in the major conferences that are on the hot seat, or at least seem like they should be. I'm not saying this year is the year or they will be gone, but they might only get one more year to turn it around in some of these cases. ACC Brad Brownell, Clemson - Hasn't been to the NCAA since 2010-11 and they just upgraded Littlejohn Coliseum. I would recommend he do better next year. Brian Gregory, Georgia Tech - I actually thought he was a good hire for Georgia Tech, and this is his best season. But I would think they would want an NCAA berth pretty soon, especially after building a new arena. Big 10 Richard Pitino, Minnesota - I may be biased because I don't think this was a very smart hire to begin with after only one 18-15 season at FIU. But 25-13, 18-15 and then 8-19 this year is not trending in the right direction. John Groce, Illinois - Made the NCAA in his first year, but has followed that with 20-15, 19-14 and 12-15 this year. Tim Miles, Nebraska - Had a nice run in 2013-14 to make the tournament, but has followed that up with 13-18 and 14-14. Another school with a new arena that I would think would want better starting soon. SEC Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt - Hasn't made the tournament since 2011-12. I'd recommend doing so this year. Pac 12 Lorenzo Romar, Washington - Has had a pretty nice run with the Huskies but hasn't made the tournament since 2010-11. Big 12 Trent Johnson, TCU - Not an easy job in a tough conference, but just made a significant investment in their facility and probably wants to see some rewards soon. Travis Ford, Oklahoma State - He's been hit with injuries this year with Jawun Evans and Phil Forte missing significant time. But the heat was already turned up after not winning a tournament game since 2008-09. Bruce Weber, Kansas State - I doubt he is gone after this year, but many K State fans were uninspired for this replacement for Frank Martin since Illinois had just fired him. AAC Josh Pastner, Memphis - Hasn't made the NCAA since 2013-14 and the arena is becoming emptier and emptier as this year goes along from what I read. [/QUOTE]
