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: DickRic-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.
