Dennis Dodd's 2012 Coach Hot Seat Ratings
Hot Seat Rating Key Rating What it means 0-0.5 Can't be touched 1-1.5 Very safe, change unlikely 2-2.5 Safe, but you never know 3-3.5 On the bubble, feeling pressure 4-4.5 Warm seat, better start winning 5 Hot seat! Win or be fired I don't understand why the new Arkansas coach comes in with a 5 (very hot seat), while Kevin Sumlin comes in with a 2, and a multi-year program-building coach like June Jones has even a 1.5, while Jimbo has a 1 (very 'cold' seat). Not meant to malign Jimbo. I just don't see Sumlin or Jones going anywhere any time soon, regardless of this year's results. Also of note, the ACC coaches: Randy Edsall -- 4.0 Frank Spaziani -- 4.0 Dabo Swinney -- 3.0 David Cutcliffe -- 3.5 Al Golden -- 2.5 Tom O'Brien -- 2.0 Larry Fedora -- 1.5 Jim Grobe -- 1.5 Mike London -- 1.0 Jimbo Fisher 1.0 Paul Johnson -- 1.0 Frank Beamer -- 0.5 And Florida teams: UCF's George O'Leary -- 3.5 Florida's Will Muschamp -- 2.5 USF's Skip Holtz --2.5 FAU's Carl Pelini - 2.5 FIU's Mario Cristobal -- 0.0
