South Carolina’s football team has plenty of issues, but a coach on the hot seat isn’t one of them. That’s not the case for the teams on the Gamecocks’ upcoming schedule.
On Saturday, South Carolina goes to College Station, Texas, where Texas A&M fans are calling for the head of Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin. That’s just the start of a series of games where South Carolina could add to the pressure the opposing coach is feeling.
Here is my ranking of the Southeastern Conference coaches based on exactly how hot their seat is one quarter of the way through the season:
Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M
When the athletics director says before the season that the coach “knows he has to win … this year” and that coach opens the season by blowing a 34-point lead in the second half, it’s going to be tough to get off the top of this list.
