ESPN Coaches (Yes, Butt Pirates, ESPN is my source.) on the Hot Seat. Four familiar names:
@Pitchfork51 's Butt Hero, DickRod, Jimmy, and Dark Sark (El Oh Lohl)
Todd Graham, Arizona State:
Graham has talked big since arriving in Tempe, not just about winning the Pac-12 South, but also contending for national titles. He got to 10 wins in 2013 and 2014, but with high expectations the past two years, is now coming off consecutive losing seasons. Arizona State faces my No. 10 toughest schedule, and the Sun Devils need to make a bowl this year.
Jim Mora, UCLA: Last year, I would've had Mora in the safe zone after opening up 29-11 his first three seasons and dipping only a little in 2015 to 8-5. Granted, he lost his star quarterback, Josh Rosen, last season during the sixth game, and the Bruins had three net close losses. But a 4-8 finish has folks wondering about the shape of the program. Mora beat USC his first three years but has lost the last two by 19 and 22 points, respectively, and USC is back to national prominence. Mora needs at least seven or eight wins.
Rich Rodriguez, Arizona: Dick
Ric-Rod got the Wildcats to a bowl game each of his first four years. Arizona won the Pac-12 South in 2014, finishing 10-2. Including that Pac-12 title game appearance, though, the Wildcats are just 10-17 overall and 4-15 in conference play since. Last year, they lost their Pac-12 games by an average of 26.4 points per game. Rodriguez's athletic director, Greg Byrne, left for Alabama, so I think he needs to get Arizona to a bowl game this year. (HIGH FUCING STANDARDS FOR THE CHOCISE SAVIOR)
Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M: Sumlin opened with a bang at 11-2 his inaugural year in 2012, even knocking off top-ranked Alabama. The past four years, Sumlin has teased Aggies fans by taking TAMU to No. 7, No. 6, No. 9 and No. 6 at various points in the season. They finished just No. 18 in 2013 and have finished unranked the past three years. A&M's athletic director has said that Sumlin needs to win this year, and I don't think he means
seven or eight victories.

He did get a fucking dc finally which I like but I really hate hating watching football so whatever.
Mora is an idiot. Stay. A 7-6 season with a win over sc would be great. I need that to happen.
Rich rod can stay. Forever.
Sumlin. I think we already know how this one plays out.
I really want to like Mora, but 4-8 for any reason at UCLA is pretty damning.
IDGAFARROKS
Mora is a loser, that's all he does. UCLA are a bunch of losers though so it is a good fit.
The only memorable thing Rich Rod has done at Zona (I like to call them "Zona") is shove spiked dildo up Helfrich's ass twice.
And I agree. Him trying to be the DC was idiotic. Well see how it goes with him not being the dc this season.
Mora: fired after this year, moves into my basement to be a half brain.
Dick Rod: lifetime contract at a loser school. Spared.
Sumlin: lynched after being fired after this season.
Also, 6 years. Holy shit.
Mora inherited Hundley, brought a little toughness (very undisciplined though) and they became a 9 win team.
He's a douchebag though and eventually that filtered into the program. His first few recruiting classes were highly ranked yet the program has gotten steadily worse.
He's a loser who was never good. I think he might be the worst coach in the conference.
It can all change with the right hire, but those schools would have to catch lightning in a bottle for that to happen.
