It's that time of year.....The College football regular season is just about done but for a game or two. This is when coaches all across the country are either coasting into a bowl season with optimism......or.....are squirming in their severely warm seats.
The web site: Coaches Hot Seat 2007 ranks every division 1 coach from the hottest in the hot seat to the most securest.
We have posted the top ten with the coach, school, conference and salary. It is very depressing to have our main man Mr. Karl Dorrell leading the list. Notre Dame's Charlie Weis just missed the top 10. He came in 11th. According to this site, the coaches at the bottom, (the most secure) are: Georgia's Mark Richt, West Virginia's Rich Rodriguez, Hawaii's June Jones and Boise State's Chris Peterson. On to their top 10:

Ferentz should be higher on this list but he will not even fire his assistants. Depressing.
