Some reports are saying as many as 30 job openings are possible after the end of the year. By comparison, there were only 11 jobs open after the 2005 season. Per the DP Show.

I really don't see another SECHC being fired this year unless Vandy loses out. I can't imagine Sumlin losing his job unless things really fall apart.

I think everyone in the SEC is safe unless they can be fired for cause. Even if A&M falls apart, I think Sumlin is fine unless he gives them a way to fire him for cause. His buyout is pretty damn stout, with his entire contract guaranteed. A&M obviously could pay it, but he's recruiting well, so giving him another year won't do any long term damage and obviously with the right qb he can coach.

Yeah, this is going to be an active year. Heck, there are already almost as many jobs open as there were all of last season. And we're not even to November yet. I think every coach in the SEC should be safe for this year. Mason was about the only real chance of being fired, but he went a long way towards getting a 3rd year last Saturday.

It was probably a must win game for him too, because I'm not sure they have another W left.

@ Houston
@ Florida
Vs UK (maybe)
Vs A&M
@ UT

He would not have survived 2-10 and 0-8 in year two.

They are recruiting well and having yet another good season by record. No coaching scandals either.
Firing Sumlin would(should) make A&M a total joke across the conference and nation.

Does Bielema survive a 5 win season, if that were to happen? His seat would have been heating up if they didn't pull that one out Saturday. And what if Stoops craps out and doesn't make a bowl? I know that's unlikely... but it is Kentucky and most of the fans are now ready for basketball.

If Auburn doesn't get another win it wouldn't shock me if they can Guschamp. They did fire a coach who won the natty two years prior. Also, aTm may be open. Sumlin may bolt to the NFL if his team implodes and all these rumors about promises made to recruits and getting shitfaced are true.

Butch at Tennessee has had a rough year and has blown several big leads. I would think their supporters are getting a little tired of it ... definitely not up to Tennessee standards. And Muschamp at Auburn can't take many more losses like he's had.

Why would the boogs fire gustav? He has a heisman QB and is preseason natty champ. *

Tennesse has their usual cupcake November schedule so they'll reel off a series of wins and Butch will be safe. Their November schedule:
South Carolina
North Texas
at Missouri
Vanderbilt

He would deserve to get fired if he does not go 4-0 with those games.

I don't think you want that egg on your face if you're Ark AD. Bert is safe even if hogs are home this bowl season.

His buyout is 15.4 million if fired before 2018. He's safe as safe can be.

Didn't realize how easy A&M's schedule is from here on out. Even if they implode, they should still be able to get to 8 wins by beating USC, WCar, and Vanderbuilt. Be less of a dumpster fire than Auburn and they can win 9 games.
