CBS Sports has put Mark Stoops on the hot seat.
Dennis Dodd ranked every FBS coach on a scale of 0-to-5. Zero is described as “untouchable,” with No. 5 as “win or be fired.” Entering his fifth season at Kentucky, Stoops’ seat is getting warm at No. 4, described as “start improving now.” CBS moved Stoops up one from last year’s “pressure is mounting” phase.
In the 2018 edition of CBS’ hot seat rankings, there are six coaches in “win or be fired” territory, while Stoops joins nine others with a No. 4 rating.
