Dennis Dodd and CBSSports.com released their annual hot seat list for all 129 FBS coaches on Monday and Mike Leach was rated as a 2 on a scale of 0-5. The Cougars head coach slipped one spot from last year as he was a 1 on the scale. After finishing last season with a 9-4 record the experts don’t really see him on much of a hot seat.
With 0 being “untouchable” and 5 being “win or be fired”, Leach finds himself right in the middle along with 42 other coaches. Eleven coaches are listed as untouchable while six are on the opposite end of the spectrum.
