Think I'll do a quick one for the SEC. UNTOUCHABLE Nick Saban- Alabama: Right. Moving on... Jim McElwain- Florida: Took what turned out to be a pretty crappy Florida team to the SECCG when everyone else in the division did various forms of self-implosion. Coached the kids up good; challenge now is to be more than "great because no one else is." Dan Mullen- Mississippi State: Keeps on keeping on, though the job gets tougher now that Dak has hit the road. Six straight bowl games at Mississippi loving State is something else. The Jeffrey Simmons stuff is bad, but he's got the AD's backing on that nonsense unfortunately. SOLID Kirby Smart- Georgia: UGA's not really going to be that good in 2016, but 2017 is shaping up nicely. Has hit the ground running in Athens, recruiting his tail off and putting on a great show for spring practice. Has the AD and the state legislature kissing his rear end. Fine start, now go win some games. Les Miles- LSU: I mean, they're not going to fire him now, so. He's a good coach, LSU, promise. Bret Bielema- Arkansas: Rough start to last season after preseason hype, but finished strong with the OT madness against Ole Miss and trucking LSU in Baton Rouge. The West is a busy place, but Bert has Arkansas on fine footing. UNDECIDED Barry Odom- Missouri: I guess? There wasn't a whole lot of effort to this hire. The Mizzou renaissance of 2013-2014 was even more ridiculous than Florida's last season, with 2014 especially being a 6-6-worthy team playing dress-up as elite. Even if Missouri only stays around the level of "fine," he'll stick around. Hugh Freeze- Ole Miss: Ole Miss cheats, Hugh Freeze is a cheater. But he also wins, so it'll take the NCAA for anything to happen to his seat. HEATING UP Butch Jones- Tennessee: If they don't win the East this season, they might never again, I swear. Has recruited well but still doesn't have the legitimate wins to back it up. Has to play Georgia in Athens this season so won't get the benefit of tearing UGA players' ACLs. Personally I think the guy's a lovely coach, long on hype and fake juice but short on Xs and Os. UT should win the East by default next season. Should. Gus Malzahn- Auburn: Take away the absurdity against UGA and Bama in 2013, and there's no there there. The offense hasn't hit on all cylinders since everyone kinda figured it out, the defense has been a revolving door, and the team has gotten worse every year he's been there. Like the last guy! Auburn plays like 11 straight home games to start the year, but start it off with Clemson, so it could get ugly fast. Then again, it's Auburn, so watch them get to the playoffs this season. (Just kidding. They won't, and Gus might not survive 7-5.) Mark Stoops- Kentucky: Has been so, so bad since getting that contract extension in 2014. Lost 6 in a row after that, and finished last season losing 6 of 7, including Vanderbilt! It's Kentucky, I know, but they've invested in the stadium and have had recent periods of legitimate success, so it would behoove him to actually make a bowl. Will Muschamp- South Carolina: LOL. Spurrier took the program to new heights, then set course right back to the ditch at warp 9. They were awful last season, they'll be awful this season, but it won't be Coach Boom's fault. Other than Spurrier, USC's program is a historic non-entity so Muschamp would really have to stumble out of the gate to be in trouble. Why is his seat heating up, then? Because he'll likely do that. Derek Mason- Vanderbilt: Was over his head in Year 1, but at least had Vandy back to spry, annoying levels in Year 2. So: Classic Vandy. Actually had two conference wins! HE'S ON FIRE Kevin Sumlin- Texas A&M: Revolving door at QB, annual post-October collapses, coaches making asses of themselves on Twitter....it's a mess.

C. Everett Koop posted:since Mangino won 12 games the program has only won 12 games total. Was about to laugh my rear end off on this one, but realized you need to fix the year. They've won 12 games total since after the 2009 season, not since after 2007. Which is still very very bad!

Stunt Rock posted:Freeze is coming of a Sugar Bowl winning season, back to back wins over Bama (including beating them at home), has the support of his AD, and the most serious violations are traceable to Nutt's regime. Most of the stuff that went on with Freeze is both minor and common, so he's solid/bordering on unless the NCAA *really* slams them. One more year with wins over Bama and State and he'll be untouchable for sure. Yeah, that "undecided" is more "who knows, maybe video will come out of him literally driving a Brink's truck to a recruit's house." In terms of on-field stuff, he'd be untouchable.
