Coaches Hot Seat
was founded in January 2007 by a group of college
football fans in the San Francisco Bay area that clearly had
more time on their hands than they knew what to do with.
We all love the game of college football and have been keenly
interested in the head football coaches at our various alma
maters over the years, and we thought there wasn't enough focus
on the records, salaries, and issues surrounding coaches that
are on the Hot Seat.
What does a coach being on the Hot Seat
mean to us? We define being on the
Hot Seat as the coach with the
most pressure on him at any given moment, not only if a coach is
on the verge of getting fired. A coach can certainly be
under tremendous pressure and on the
Hot Seat and still have job security, but most
coaches that end up on our Hot Seat
as promulgated in our Coaches Hot Seat
Rankings are either under tremendous pressure to win
football games or are teetering on the edge of being fired.
In addition to providing information, win/loss records,
salaries, biographical info, etc., on college head
football coaches, we also have put together
Coaches Hot Seat to be a
central point of information or portal for the game of college
football. In the end Coaches Hot
Seat was designed to be a place where we could turn
daily to find information on the game of college football and
also a place where we could have a lot of fun following this
great game.
The
Coaches Hot Seat Ranking is
a ranking of all 119 Division I-A football coaches on how they
stand relative to their current situation, and relative to their
peers. The
Coaches Hot Seat Ranking is
based on several factors, including:
1. Career and School Win/Loss Records
2. Booster and Fan feelings towards
the Coach and Football Program
3. Expectations at the School
4. Board of Trustees, President,
Athletic Director's feelings toward the Coach
5. Local Media's Attitude towards the
Coach and Football Program
6. Current Salary and Buyout
7. Recent Recruiting Classes
8. Length of Time at School
9. Coach's Ties to School and Local
Community
10. 2008 Schedule
In addition there are several other minor
factors that go into compiling the
Coaches Hot Seat Ranking.
The
Coaches Hot Seat Ranking will be updated weekly
every Monday morning throughout the year, and as conditions
warrant.
In summary,
Coaches Hot Seat is
committed to covering college football coaching from Miami to
Honolulu. Our goal is to bring to our readers all of the
daily news from the college coaching scene, college football
news, and to also provide a place to find relevant information
on current college football coaches with a focus on NCAA Divsion
I-A. In addition
Coaches Hot Seat
will publish the
Coaches
Hot Seat Blog, which will bring you the latest
news on college coaching along with the opinion of
