Before every season, there are at least two dozen college football coaches who should be worried about their job. But since this list will only feature the 10 coaches whose coaching seat is the hottest, the others will have to wait their turn.
Seven of the 10 on on last year’s list either quit, were fired, or left for another job. The three that survived the purge were Steve Sarkisian of Texas, Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Dino Babers of Syracuse.
The 10 coaches on this list are not only riding a slippery slope with their fans, but if their respective teams’ on-field performances start to slip, buyout clauses will be enacted and their programs will have a new leader next season.
