That leaves a few of note who could get fired this season. Here are the top candidates:
- Tennessee's Phil Fulmer: after 17 years, the Vols might want a change.
- Syracuse's Greg Robinson: with an 8-34 record in four seasons, it's only a matter of time.
- Auburn's Tommy Tuberville: yes, one bad year might be all it takes to do him in.
Here's the most interesting part: Tuberville comes in at No. 1 this week. I thought Robinson would take the "coach most likely to get fired next" mantle from Willingham easily.
This is the current Top 10:
- Tuberville
- Fulmer
- Robinson
- Wyoming's Joe Glenn
- San Diego State's Chuck Long
- Purdue's Joe Tiller (an interesting rank since Tiller is already retiring after this season anyway)
- Michigan's Rich Rodriguez (talk about no patience)
- Colorado's Dan Hawkins
- Washington State's Paul Wulff
- North Texas' Todd Dodge

.....The biggest surprise is that Texas A&M's guy, Mike Sherman, isn't on that list. I've read LOTS of angst coming out of College Station...
.....I'd argue that folks in Knoxville have been after Fulmer since that 2001 SEC Championship meltdown, basically giving that game away to a rookie LSU quarterback who was no real passing threat.
Well, it wasn't that long ago that people were calling for Joe Paterno to step down or for Penn State to fire him. Now look at where Penn State is. Can you say National Championship contender?
I am so sick of the rumors, and people calling for Turberville to get fired. 1 bad season out of ten (excluding his first season) should not be enough to get him fired. He deserves a chance to make up for his mistakes.(see: Tony Franklin)
Fulmer on the other hand, has been given every chance to rebuild tennessee and he has had no luck. It might be time for him to go.
Greg Robinson has to go, he has completely destroyed Syracuse football.
Rich Rodriguez should be given time, but I don't care for the guy one bit, I would actually find it amusing if he gets fired after the way he treated West Virginia.
