Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Any Pac-12 coaches on the hot seat?

This is a unique year in that no P12 coach appears vulnerable to being on the hot seat until 2016 at the earliest. Even guys like Leach and Dykes have leeway for shitty seasons before truly feeling the heat.

    Cal - Probably can't afford to fire Dykes.
    Stanford - Nope.
    OSU - Nope.
    RapeU - Nope.
    WSU - Can't afford to fire Leach.
    UW - Nope.

    USC - No hot seat yet (see: Haden, Pat) after Alabama 2016 his seat will be on fire.
    UCLA - Nope.
    Utah - if they struggle Whittingham will be on the hot seat.
    Colorado - Don't know if they really care.
    UA - Nope.
    ASU - Nope.

    If Utah has a losing season this year, I think Whittingham "leaves" for the ACC.

    I could see Utah potentially losing every road game + a few at home. They were lucky last year.

    Utah beat Fresno State last year 59-27. I don't see them losing at Fresno this year.

    I think Utah will take a step back next season but still be good enough to go bowling.

    I'm seeing a situation where USC gets clobbered by 'Bama (ILTCTBIWILTD) and bounces back by the end of the season. 'Bama then loses in the SEC title game, doesn't give a fuck and plays USC in a bowl game in which USC wins in dominating fashion leading Trooj faithful to believe Sark "figured it out".

    Or in less TLDR fashion, Sark 2010 replays itself in 2016.

    'Bama's going full Deliverance on Sark. That game should have an NC-17 rating.

    You joke, but if they were to lose 3 games they would absolutely lose their shit down there in Eugene

    Dykes, Wittingham, Leach and McIntyre seem the most likely candidates. But Cal and Utah are maybe too broke to pull the trigger this year, and who knows if Wazzu/Colorado care enough.

    I could see Sark getting canned this year with a 7-5 season, especially if it includes a blowout to ND and then two back to back blowouts to Oregon and UCLA to end the season. Haden has a bum ticker so he could retire before Sark gets canned. Can't imagine they would let him hire the next guy with his health issues.

    I find it hard to believe teams in the Pac 12 are too broke to fire a coach. Maybe Leach at WSU, but that's it.

    Utah can't pay their coaches competitive salaries. Cal has little money, and the money they do have is going straight to their stadium debt.

    They lose their shit every year when they come up a dollar short as their remarkable run of success that accomplishes nothing slowly but inevitably approaches Larry Coker territory.

    People forget that it took Wooden 14 years to win a natty at UCLA.

    I didn't say it would happen, I said it could happen. Some of you need to learn the difference and stop twisting.

    Cal's Football Stadium renovation is a major financial problem. Even the Wall Street Journal has done some pieces on it. They are the real #stadiumdefault.

    To wit: They renamed their field "Kabam", they almost had to drop baseball, they lost key assistants to Kansas because of $. Cal is broke as a joke. Broons are slightly worried it could effect our athletics in some way if the UC gets involved dealing with Cal's financial mess.
