As a Washington fan, my general belief is that Steve Sarkisian has to get over the seven-win hump this season or he should be gone. My question is this: Who do you see as potential hot coaches who could be on the market at the end of the year? Washington is a school with rich tradition, rabid fans willing to spend money and a new stadium that will likely be one of the best in the land. I want Sark to succeed as I like him, but I think history shows that if a coach isn't succeeding after five years, he probably won't get it done.

There's an alarming amount of pessimism among this week's questions considering we're just days away from the start of camp. I agree that Sarkisian is on the hot seat, especially given the long-awaited reopening of renovated Husky Stadium. But you're already looking for replacements? It's tough to predict these things ahead of time; who would have guessed prior to last season that Dave Doeren, Mike MacIntyre and Darrell Hazell would land BCS-conference jobs? Or that Bret Bielema would jump to the SEC? Depending on how they fare this season, I could see the next wave of hot mid-major coaches including Louisiana-Lafayette's Mark Hudspeth, Ball State's Pete Lembo and Fresno State's Tim DeRuyter. Still, knowing Washington AD Scott Woodward, he'd likely make a run at someone with a bigger reputation. And there's one name you know will be hovering over all others come the coaching carousel in November: Bobby Petrino (my personal choice).
Seriously, though, focus on Keith Price, Bishop Sankey and the gang. This could be a big year for U-Dub.
