Coaches on the Hot Seat

[wusphlash]

Anthony Grant - Alabama
Matt Painter - Purdue
Danny Manning - Tulsa (maybe too early)
Roy Williams - NC (even though he was the chosen one, NC fans won't accept this kind of failure).
Mark Turgeon - Maryland (should have stayed in the weak SEC)
Ben Jacobsen - UNI (probably not, who could they get that was better)
Barry Hinson - SIU (didn't you expect more?)
Who else?

Cuonzo may be there by next year.

Hinson's in no danger -- SIU's program was a shambles when he arrived, and everyone knows it's going to take some time.

A guy who supposedly was on the hot seat earlier but certainly is no more, is Rick Barnes. The Horns lost a bunch of me-first talent who tried jumping prematurely to the pros and as a result became a team-oriented, coachable group instead, and now they continue to help WSU's RPI with every added win. They're the surprise of the Big 12 minus 2.

I don't really think that Manning is anywhere near the hot seat. He didn't inherit much. The team is quite young and, in spite of a very bad start to the year, they have been pretty good of late and have a winning record in league play.
