Now that Scott Frost is out at Nebraska, who are ten other coaches on the hot seat after Week 2 of the college football season?​

Sept. 12, 2022, SEE ALL FROM CFN​

4. Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M​

Up Next: Miami

We all know what’s coming.

We all know that Texas A&M just cranked up one of the greatest recruiting classes in the history of college football – at least according to the people who get into those things – and we all know that the program is just this close to being the next big thing. It’s not crazy to see Texas A&M coming up with a 2019 LSU or 2021 Georgia very, very soon. However …

Losing at home to Appalachian State 17-14 with 186 yards of total offense isn’t a sign that things are going well. Worst of all, last week is as light as it gets until UMass on November 19th.

2. Brian Kelly, LSU​

Up Next: Mississippi State

The problem is there there’s no honeymoon period whatsoever, and the start to his tenure has been, let’s just say, weird.

The brutal fact is that LSU needs a little while to get back to a national title level, but that’s not where the expectations are. LSU isn’t supposed to struggle against Florida State, it’s supposed to win the SEC Championship, and Kelly is supposed to step in and win a national title like Nick Saban, Les Miles, and Ed Orgeron did.

LSU fans aren’t insane – of course they know this is going to take a little bit – but … beat Mississippi State. And then beat Auburn, and then Tennessee, and then Florida, and then Ole Miss, and then Alabama, and then Arkansas …

1. Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame​

Up Next: Cal

Yes, Freeman is the first Notre Dame head coach to lose his first three games. Yes, the team collapsed in the bowl loss to Oklahoma State, didn’t open it up in the season-opener against Ohio State, and couldn’t handle a home game at Marshall.

Call it all a step back to possibly take a massive step forward.

It’s hard to sell a fan base on recruiting cycles when it’s expecting a College Football Playoff appearance – and that was exactly the right bar to set with a not-that-bad-other-than-Clemson schedule after going to Columbus.

Everyone loves the hire, no one has a negative word to say about him, and it’s acknowledged that there will be a learning curve of sorts in his first head coaching gig. That’s fine. Now the O needs to work on a nice-long, winning streak.

5. Eliah Drinkwitz, Missouri​

Up Next: Abilene Christian

It’s one thing to get trucked by Georgia or Florida or Alabama – that’s life in the SEC – and it wasn’t the worst thing in the world to lose on the road against a good Kansas State squad. It was the way Mizzou lost in the 40-12 debacle.

222 yards of total offense, four turnovers, little run defense – it was a rough day in Manhattan.

There are plenty of winnable games on the schedule – Abilene Christian, Vanderbilt, New Mexico State – to get in range of a bowl game, but that’s not were the program is supposed to be in Year Three.

Drinkwitz went 12-1 in his one season at Appalachian State. He’s now 12-13 at Missouri.
 
First-year coaches pressure baby!!

2. Brian Kelly, LSU​

1. Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame​

 
I imagine that Jimbo feels it right about now.
