Who makes it to the 2016 season?

[Crusty]

On the hot seat

Randy Edsall Maryland
22-33 overall and 10-23 in conference play (ACC and B1G).
The press and fans are calling for his head. The brutal conference schedule look daunting, but he has had a couple of good classes, which may buy him a little more time.

Mike London - Virginia
In 5 1/3 campaigns, London is 24-41 and 11-29 in ACC play. Hard to imagine anything that saves him after starting 1-3 this year.

Dave Doeren NC State
NCS plays the softest schedule of any P5 team in the nation. If they have raised expectations only to have a losing season, he will be in big trouble. Probably not enough to get fired. but who knows.

Al Golden Miami
Since 2011 he is 31-23, but only 16-16 in conference. A losing year this year would be his third in a row meaning that he is a net loser with the players he has recruited. Probably needs a miracle.

Butch Jones Tennessee
Through his 2 1/3 seasons, Butch is 14-16 overall and just 5-13 in the SEC. he won at CMU and Cincinnati and probably deserves another season. That said, he cannot afford any more ugly losses than can be blamed on coaching mistakes.

Charlie Strong Texas
Normally, would not belong on this list, but he may have lost control of the locker room, which may result in calls for his head. Remember, it's arrogant Texas.

Darrell Hazell Purdue
5-24 since arriving at Purdue for the 2013 season, he is 1-16 in the B1G. WOW.

George O'Leary UCF
George is 69 and probably won't be coaching at 70.

Possible retirees?
Frank Beamer 68 years old
Steve Spurrier

Your thoughts?

Al Golden's contract has too many years left for him to be fired. He's there through the 2019 season.

O'leary is done. Beamer should be done. London and Edsall have to pull out miracles and make a bowl game to save their jobs.

It simply can't be said enough - Randy Edsall is a douchebag. He is the epitome of douchebag.

 

[jekelish]

I want to say Strong gets one more year, but the shakeup in the athletics department with Patterson getting canned certainly doesn't help his cause.

yeah, he's so perfect for that program - it was his dream job because they are a match made in douche heaven

I hope he's there for at least one more year.

I just watched the replay of MD vs USF and there was nobody in the stands - looked like a Miami game.

Unfortunately, Shafer is probably on that list as well

Incredibly unlikely.

lol, what? no.

No he isn't.

Will our opinions matter?

Mine and a couple of others.

I don't know if many people are talking about it, but I also wonder if the old ball coach will be around next year.

Things haven't been going his way (except on the recruiting trail) the last two years and he's gotta be pushing 70.

He turned 70 in April.

Currently, HCSS is nowhere near that hot seat list. Not within a mile of it.

As with most things in life, they change. Let's see how this season plays out. Barring a complete meltdown, HCSS is most likely looking at an extension. I don't believe they'll make him work the last year in his contract with no assurance for the future.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

What about Flood from RU?

 

[TexanMark]

GOL is the Interim AD at UCF...this could get weird as he has a conversation with himself during the Coaching Firing Season.

VT fans think to seem he stays on one more season...it is becoming a Schwartzwalder situation. He has probably earned it...but it would be better if he announces his retirement in the next few weeks and the start a search. Charlie Strong could be a great candidate there.

 

[TexanMark]

What about Flood from RU?

No he is doing an outstanding job...Rutgers needs to continue on their same vector.

 

[TexanMark]

Shafer's stock is in a freefall and that is a good thing

We don't know how the season plays out but if SU is taking football seriously then Shafer isn't safe yet. If we end up 4-8 he deserves to be fired. If we end up 7-5 he deserves to get an extension. If we are 5-7 or 6-6 it should buy him one more year. I think at this point it is more likely we go 7-5 than 4-8 so I think Shafer will be safe. But there is a lot of football left to be played and we still don't know what we have with this team.

I know others think differently, think Coyne will want to "bring in his own guys", but if you read what Coyne has said, I don't believe Shafer is gone after this season regardless of record. And we won't be 4-8.

Interesting that Flood is gray. Does that mean his safety is pending outcomes of his issues or because he is suspended?

It means they don't even know what to say about the mess that is Rutgers. They're in a category by themselves.

I understand your thought process, but, it's not a finite decision driven by record. If we end up 5-7 and lose 4 games by the skin of our teeth, it's a lot different season than 5-7 and getting our doors blown off 5 times.

As I said, currently he's nowhere near it, but it changes and it changes quickly dependent on results.

The Football Gods of 2014 laugh at your post...they surely have some tricks up their sleeves ;-)
