Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about college football in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights.
Question: Tom Herman seems entrenched is his position as head coach, but is Tim Beck on the hot seat?
Carlton: Uh (thinking, thinking, thinking) ... yes. It's never a good sign when the head coach calls plays in the bowl game or muses about taking over play-calling duties. That said, Beck didn't exactly take over a plug-and-play offense last season. Fairly or not, if the offense sputters this season, Beck will make a convenient target.
