Which SEC head coaches are in the most danger of losing their jobs?
This is the first edition of the Hot Seat Index for 2024, and it comes after an interesting weekend of action in the SEC. Some head coaches made their seats even warmer, while others cooled off for the time being.SEC Head Coach Hot Seat Index - Week 8Napier has temporarily turned his temperature down after defeating Kentucky 48–20. It is Napier's first victory over the Wildcats since becoming Florida's head coach.
Venables just got a 6-year contract extension before the season started. That deal is aging horribly. He just lost 35–9 to South Carolina at home in arguably the worst loss of his head coaching career. While his defense has been great, Venables’ offense has been a disaster. Beamer just picked up a huge win over Oklahoma in Norman. His team has also been competitive in close losses to LSU and Alabama but found ways to blow both of those games. The gamecocks also looked horrible in a blowout loss to Ole Miss. Beamer is likely safe this year, but his 2-3 conference record in his fourth season is not a sign of an improving program.All of these head coaches are in no danger of being fired, but their fan bases are upset with them for different reasons.
Speaking of disappointment, Kiffin’s rebels have colossally underachieved so far this year. They are now 1-2 in the conference after losing a dramatic overtime thriller to LSU. It is becoming more clear as the years go on that Kiffin may have hit his ceiling as Ole Miss’ head coach. Nevertheless, Ole Miss’ entire identity revolves around Kiffin. He will be in Oxford until he decides to leave.
