From Pat Forde regarding coaches in trouble:
Doug Marrone (33), Syracuse. He's 1-3 this year, 18-23 overall with the Orange and has lost eight straight games to FBS competition. Even in the modest Big East, his record is an uninspiring 6-15 – and next year the competition gets (a little) tougher in the ACC. What would help: Not turning over the ball ('Cuse is a minus-six in that department) and not being terrible on special teams (119th in net punting, 112th in punt returns, 111th in kickoff returns). Chances of getting Petrino if there is an opening: He can probably do better.
