Hot Seat Rating Key
Rating What it means
0-0.5 Can't be touched
1-1.5 Very safe, change unlikely
2-2.5 Safe, but you never know
3-3.5 On the bubble, feeling pressure
4-4.5 Warm seat, better start winning
5 Hot seat! Win or be fired
I don't understand why the new Arkansas coach comes in with a 5 (very hot seat), while Kevin Sumlin comes in with a 2, and a multi-year program-building coach like June Jones has even a 1.5, while Jimbo has a 1 (very 'cold' seat). Not meant to malign Jimbo. I just don't see Sumlin or Jones going anywhere any time soon, regardless of this year's results.
