Who has the hottest coaching seat in college football?
According to ESPN, it’s LSU’s Les Miles, who sits just ahead of Mark Stoops.
Here’s what they say about Stoops:
2. Mark Stoops, Kentucky (preseason rank: 9): Stoops’ $12 million buyout is still the biggest thing working in his favor, but it might not save him if Kentucky continues on its current trajectory. Kentucky opened the season by blowing an 18-point halftime lead against Southern Miss and falling 44-35, surrendering 32 first downs and 520 yards to an offense coordinated by Shannon Dawson, whom Stoops fired in December. The Wildcats were then stomped in The Swamp 44-7, dropping their 30th straight game to Florida. The schedule eases up the next two weeks (New Mexico State, South Carolina), but if Kentucky doesn’t start reflecting its supposedly improved recruiting soon, Stoops could be out soon.
