Oklahoma Sooners Football Hot Links: Recruiting eyes, the job security of Big 12 coaches, and more!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful Thursday, everyone!

Speaking of wonderful, the 10 Big 12 head football coaches are likely feeling pretty good about the current status of their job security — at least according to CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd, who recently released his annual Hot Seat Rankings.

Lincoln Riley is the only Big 12 coach on the list who’s in the ‘Untouchable’ category, but what I found especially interesting was that none of the other Big 12 coaches’ ratings were worse than 2 (0-5 scale, 0 being the best, 5 being the worst).

Much of that is in large part to first-year men like Kansas’ Les Miles, Kansas State’s Chris Klieman, Texas Tech’s Matt Wells and West Virginia’s Neal Brown being given ample time to do their jobs.
