He's 18-19 overall. Coaches Hot Seat has him at #26, which means very little, I know. The AD who hired him is no longer here. Not many notable wins, sans the 2019 Music City Bowl. Some not so great losses mixed in there, as well. Cards start the season with two road games then FSU at home. For the sake of argument, let's say he starts 0-2. Does Hierd, who is looking to make a splash, pull the trigger? I'd say Satt's fan support is 50/50 at this moment, though, recruiting is going exceptionally well.
How warm is Satt's seat heading into 2022?

Purdue’s AD probably like WTF. Jeff is here all the time. I saw him going into Slugger Field for Thunder over Louisville. And at some other random place recently
I know. I’ve seen Greg at Louisville games during Purdue home games, and he’s Football Ops. I kid, kind of.
I think we have 9 win talent, but we don't have a 9 win schedule.
My greatest concern in the program is the secondary; surprisingly recovered a little in the Portal but still seems thrown together and meshed in a way I won't feel comfortable with until we're in the late third quarter against Florida State answering the question of "whatever happened to that Chubba kid?" posed by the guy in the row behind me. A game we likely will be winning by two plus TDs if our recent history with FSU is any indication.
I am a big fan of a veteran returning QB with a good stable of running backs working behind a largely intact and veteran offensive line. We have a 1st team all-ACC offensive lineman returning in Chandler. I like Ford to get an expanded look over last year.
I think our defensive front appears to be an improvement on the basis of seasoning for Abdullah and Gillotte alone; Diaby has always struck me as being on the edge of being a bigger contributor. Getting Clark and Montgomery back is a boost though I don't know if we might now see the type of dropoff we saw when Yeast came back from a serious knee injury.

Outside of Clemson and Kentucky, I don’t see any of the other 10 games with teams with a talent advantage.
NC State, Wake, Pitt, FSU, UCF, BC, UVA, Cuse, USF, and James Madison are the other 10 teams.
If that’s our schedule and we have 9 win talent, then we should easily win 8-10 games. That’s a pretty cake schedule.
Remember the first ACC schedule? Clemson with Watson, FSU with Jameis Winston, at Notre Dame, and Miami. Now that’s a brutal schedule. What we have now is a Clemson that’s not what they’ve been, still great but not the top team, Florida State who has fallen apart and aren’t a top 25 team. We don’t have Notre Dame either.
I see the point somewhat, but NC State and Pitt are problems for us historically, and both are very good in the trenches. Wake returns more experience and depth of talent and if you believe some out of Winston Salem this might be his best squad.
I thought he lost the fanbase after the Virginia game last year.
I don't know what he can do to get the fans back on board anytime soon. He's putting together a great recruiting class but even if that talent arrives, it won't help him for 2-3 years. He needs to get the fans back on board now, but it seems unlikely.
He'll have to win a lot of games, and/or beat a Top 25 team to change the trajectory of the fanbase.

It would go a long way to upset one of CU or UK to get the fans back....especially if it is UK. Both would really solidify his job IMO.

If you cannot physically create enough pressure with only 3 DLs, you add a 4th or maybe even 5th rusher to the mix - didn't see much of that last year. Sure, pass defense has been a lingering problem but you're gonna get burnt sometimes. Got my fingers crossed with that new DL transfer. Need more like him.
Peace

If he opens 0-2 it probably falls completely apart. He absolutely has to get the W at Syracuse.
If he can't win @ Syracuse how many wins can we expect him to get?
