re: Who will be getting a contract extension? Who will be on the hot seat?

At some point the kindling that's been put under Richt's seat during the last couple years will catch fire, and it'll spread fairly quickly. The question is, what is the threshold at which the match is lit? Will UGA fans and admin continue accepting decent seasons with no huge payoff? Could make for an interesting situation the next couple years. The exact same paragraph could be used in reference to Miles at LSU, although I think another disappointing season begins the kindling under the seat (i.e. a year or two behind UGA).

If the Aggies should have another middle of the pack season, Sumlin's seat will heat up but he'll get a least another year. A collapse of epic proportions and he could be gone, but it would have to be a BIG collapse.

This will be a year that tells us a lot about Jones, Bielema, and Stoops. None have to be extremely successful, just as long as their teams show progress instead of regress. It's a good thing Tennessee's fans aren't running the show over there, I'm thinking that they've set themselves up for a bit of a letdown during this preseason, and Butch would be their scapegoat.
