College Football: Which hot seat coaches are in the most trouble after Week 3?

The college football world can be a cruel one to head coaches that disappoint their fan bases. Who could be gone by the end of Week 3?

The first wave of college football games in Week 3 featured quite a load of head coaches on the hot seat. Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin and UCLA’s Jim Mora were both on upset alert for most of the day. Some of the blue blood college football programs played in much more tightly contested games than expected.

Getting through the non-conference schedule without a single upset can be very challenging for some Power Five programs. Because of that, there could be a few head coaching spots open in very desirable football programs very soon. In today’s college football world, the bigger programs expect their teams to compete at a high-level year in and year out and don’t have much patience for “rebuilding” seasons.

Few big games were played in the early afternoon set of games. The Clemson Tigers and Louisville Cardinals face off in the biggest matchup of the day. Tennessee and Florida had a key matchup as well. Yet, only Tennessee head coach Butch Jones was on any sort of hot seat entering those two games.

It’s hard to tell where some teams are at in terms of firing their head coaches until the end of the weekend. Rumors can swirl without notice from the actual teams noticing during on game day.

Now, let’s take a look at the hot seat meter of five of the most uncertain head coaches in college football.
