Heh, well I didn't look into their schedules that much but Vandy has a great chance this year to really make some people proud. I think they'll take it. As for Tennessee… hm. Just not sure. I don't follow them enough to know what their offense/defense/staff is compared to last year, but I'd say yeah, he'll be there next season. They will probably do a little better this season and go something like 7-5. Any lower than that and Dooley is in real trouble and it could go 50/50. You're right, too. Somehow I keep forgetting Georgia made the SEC championship in 2011. Richt's job probably is pretty secure for the next couple of years, then.
I make my hot seat coaches predictions really 2 seasons in advance. My hot seat coach for this season was made 1 year ago and is Derek Dooley...of course if they had gone 10-2 I wouldn't have looked too good. Every publication I've seen has Dooley #1 now as coach who very easily could lose his job. My 2013 season hot seat coach is Will Muschamp at Florida. I'm thinking Florida will be about what they were last season which was mediocre at best. IF they finish say 4th behind South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri in SEC East, his tootsies will get hot. IF Vanderbilt finishes ahead of him, he may not make it to 2013. IMO, Dooley and Muschamp are the Mike Archers of this decade, simply not head coach material, at least at this stage of their careers.
I assume you are talking morally and with on the "seat" word . Seriously, John L Smith has a sweet spot. Most would probably say that Arkansas failure would be on Petrino and his ridiculous conduct and how they basically had to hire a transition coach late. IMO Smith will not be crucified if Arkansas underperforms....Petrino will be blamed. However, IF things get nutty off the field and I wouldn't be surprised at all, Smith then needs to come down hard with tough discipline. If he does that, I don't see how he can lose. Myself, I can't wait to see how Tennessee plays this season...the order I will scoreboard watch this year.... LSU then Alabama then Tennessee then Arkansas.
Saban's daughter will line up on kickoffs. Hugh Freeze will retire after just one season because he'll get tired of rednecks calling him "Poo" Freeze (this is an actual product). Dereck (sp?) Dooley will send 13 guys onto the field on the last play of a game and his QB will fumble the snap. Spurrier will throw his visor.
