CBS Sports’ hot seat rankings: Dantonio, Harbaugh safe

Related Topics: Jim Harbaugh, Hotseat

The “hot seat” in college football depends on which writer is taking the temperature, it seems.

Take Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, for instance. Coming off a 3-9 season and a turbulent offseason rife with off-the-field issues, Dantonio landed on Phil Steele’s hot seat list in a story published Tuesday on ESPN.com.

Ask Dennis Dodd over at CBS Sports, though, and Dantonio has nothing to worry about after 10 seasons (including three Big Ten titles and a College Football Playoff appearance) in East Lansing. CBS Sports came out with its “hot seat rankings” for all 130 FBS coaches Wednesday, assessing a score for each from 0 to 5 based on their job security.
