After a winter of discontent around college football -- 21 new coaches hired, 13 in the Power 5 -- the coaching hot seat forecast for 2018 called for mostly clear skies.
Three weeks into the season, good luck finding many storm clouds.
While compiling a preseason coaching hot seat list, I couldn't in good faith include more than a handful of names. I ended up with four coaches truly feeling the heat: Kansas' David Beaty, Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury, LSU's Ed Orgeron and BYU's Kalani Sitake.
Entering Week 4, those four coaches are a combined 9-3 with three wins against top-10 teams and five against Power 5 opponents.
