College Football Coaching Deathwatch Week 6 - Who Else is Getting Canned This Year?

Checking in to see who might be joining patron Saint Locksley and Rage-filled Mike Stoops on the unemployment line.

10 Mark Richt, Georgia – Four straight wins is nice, but Georgia fans want SEC Titles and contention for more. Richt hasn't given them that in quite some time. Combined with the 0-2 start that eliminated the Bulldogs from the National Title Race before it even started, and fans are still upset. Given that Richt's annual choke against Florida and a possible hiccup against Auburn remain on the schedule and Richt still is in some trouble. At this point, the only way no SEC East title is good enough is if South Carolina runs the table in the league (entirely possible).

9 Rick Neuheisel, UCLA – Winning against Washington St. is always good for the job security, in part because losing is so painful to said job security. The UCLA quarterback plague continued though, reclaiming Richard Brehaut and re-inserting Kevin Prince into the lineup. To Prince, a multi-time victim of the plague, good luck and Godspeed. To Neuheisel, you need to call up Les Miles and make a deal with whoever he was dealing with last season for good fortune. Said entity has been absent from the scene all season so far.

8 Bob Toledo, Tulane – His team is awful and nobody cares. He has also been there for five years. Sounds like a recipe for a coaching change to me.

7 Neil Callaway, UAB – His team is awful and nobody cares. He has also been there for five years. Sounds like a recipe for a coaching change to me.

6 Frank Spaziani, Boston College – Spaz is lucky that he works for a pompous ass of an athletic director. He might save his job by not coaching and kissing the AD's ass the rest of the year. Just don't interview for another, much better job and all will be fine, even if you lose.

5 Tom O'Brien, NC State – Remember that O'Brien built the Boston College program but ended up at NC State because of a combination of wanting more money and not being willing to kiss the Boston College AD's ass. That said, his epic botching of the Russell Wilson situation leaves him on very shaky ground.

4 Luke Fickell, Ohio St. - Looked good and got an upgrade from having his players suspended further. He's still probably screwed at the end, but win out and there's a chance. A chance. Maybe I should have ranked him higher.

3 Houston Nutt, Ole Miss – Nutt deserves to be on the hotseat. That said, Ole Miss fans are delusional. That will be on display when they try to burn down the ADs house with pitchforks and torches after losing to ALABAMA on Saturday. If ever there was a forgivable loss, this week will be it.

2 Larry Porter, Memphis – Losing 28-6 to Rice is never a good thing. And Porter remains on Locksley 2-22 pace. And he can't coach. Or recruit to a non-BCS level team.

1 Joker Phillips, Kentucky – Blown out by South Carolina with an offensive coach who can't put a good offense on the field. Considering Mike Leach is an ex-assistant here and the fans want him above anyone else, Phillips is in real trouble, even in only his second year.
