Yeah, good point. Granted, FIU could have just as easily went 8-4 this year as they did 3-9. 5 games they lost by 8 points or less that could have easily swayed the other way and been a win for the Golden Panthers.Originally Posted by gschwendt

Chris Peterson says not even .1% chance of current rumors of him going elsewhere are true.

Petersen on jobs: "It's just rumors. That's all I want to say about this. It's just rumors."

Petersen: "99.9 percent is always completely false. The problem is the .1. There hasn't even been a .1"

Gotta go 0-24 over 2 seasons, I guess.
Along the lines of what others have said, very little reason to include first-year coaches (e.g. Akron, Illinois, Kansas). You have to be spectacularly bad (i.e. Southern Miss) to be gone after the first year.

Yeah, well there was also the issue of I couldn't remember exactly who all the first-year coaches were, so I just decided to include everyone,

1. Because It's Your First Year, You're Almost Certainly Safe, But You Might Start Next Year With A Warm Seat If You Don't Rally
Tim Beckman, Illinois
Norm Chow, Hawaii
Justin Fuente, Memphis
Ellis Johnson, Southern Miss
Charley Molnar, UMass
Curiously, Akron appears nowhere on his Hot Seat Watch, so ... I would think Bowden would be on this list, but maybe not.

I figured UMass and the rest of the new guys would probably be safe. I know UMass, Georgia State, UTSA and Texas State all want to start immediately competing, but you have to have some leeway with them since you're jumping up to full time FBS play. I don't think many people were expecting UMass and the rest to really do too much this year.
Hawaii, if they have another 2 or 3 win season, Chow will definitely be feeling the heat. Same with Beckman at Illinois. To go from 7-6 last year to 2-10 this year (and winless in the Big Ten), he's not gonna get much slack in the future.
The "Hot Seat Watch" where that came from was from late October. He hasn't done one since early November. So that was before UMass had registered a win, which would make a healthy difference. Also before Hawai'i's latest win.

Ahh, that could haven an effect.
And looks like Troy Calhoun is being considered by Cal. It's being reported by CBS Sports, but I don't have a link. I got the story in the daily release of emails from the Navy Sports Information Department.
I'm not expecting too much to come of this. With Troy being a wishbone/triple option coach, while it wouldn't be a complete overhaul of offensive style at Cal with them running Pro right now, I can't see A: Calhoun wanting to leave Air Force where he pretty much owns the team for Cal (and in the process getting ass whooped every year by 2/3rd's of the Pac-12), and B: Cal switching to a wishbone/triple option offense. While it could possibly have some success against some of the Pac-12 defenses, especially those who haven't seen or defended the triple option in god knows how many years, if you get shut down on offense, you are fucked, especially against USC, Oregon, Stanford, Washington, etc, as they would light up the hell out of the scoreboard on you.Cal looks into Air Force's Troy Calhoun during coaching search
By Jeremy Fowler | College Football Insider
In its efforts to replace Jeff Tedford, Cal has gauged the interest of a familiar name in big-job head coaching searches -- Air Force's Troy Calhoun.
A Cal rep has reached out to an intermediary of Calhoun and has him on the school's list of potential candidates, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation.
Calhoun, who is 47-29 in six seasons at Air Force, has been linked to Tennessee and Colorado jobs in the past but is widely considered loyal to the Academy, where he also went to school and worked as an assistant. Air Force has qualified for its fifth consecutive bowl game.
Cal is drawn to academic-minded coaches, and Calhoun fits that mold. Cal has hired a search firm, DHR International.
Tedford coached 11 seasons at Cal but was not retained after a 3-9 season.
Ellis Johnson is out. Will be announced officially later today.
Damn, so much for a second straight year of 0-12 (especially if Tulsa plays Southern Miss next year).
Rumors saying that Mark Stoops will be announced as Kentucky's next head coach this afternoon... can't say I would expect that since FSU has a game this weekend but who knows.
Just got a news alert that it's a reality.
