B1G FB HC Hot Seat rankings

this season can't finish fast enough

Don’t know if that site coacheshotseat has gotten better but it used to have nonsense unrealistic rankings and names. Quick scan of the list now seems somewhat more realistic than past years though.

But here’s a bit from Feldman from this morning.

Greg Schiano, Rutgers​

His second act has not gone anywhere near as well as his first stint with the Scarlet Knights. The season began with a nightmarish loss at home to a 29-point underdog UMass, which was on a 16-game losing streak, and that game wasn’t all that close. Then, they lost at BC, which was coming off a 2-10 season. That start triggered some alarm. Their best game was a close loss, 42-35 to USC. They are 2-4 at midseason and got a much-needed comeback road win at Maryland.

Riding that momentum and going on a run to get to a bowl game feels like a stretch, but they do have only one ranked opponent remaining in No. 24 Northwestern. If Rutgers can split and go 5-7, is that really going to trigger a big financial move to make a change with the 60-year-old? His buyout is almost $20 million, which is quite a bit for Rutgers. How aggressive will new AD Keli Zinn be? Is former Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly a much more attractive option? Zinn worked with Kelly at LSU.

Temperature check: Pretty warm
