Toasty Buns: Which college football head coaches are feeling the heat in Week 12?

Possibly ending the year on a nine-game skid means Tom Allen would have to go

I could keep saying the same things over and over again about Indiana head coach Tom Allen, but I would prefer to not feel like I am taking crazy pills. The Hoosiers lost again after getting blown out in The Horseshoe by Ohio State to fall to 3-7 on the year. Indiana has lost seven straight games and could potentially finish the campaign on a nine-game losing skid. That would be most horrific.

Although the three-point victory at home over Illinois at the start of the year was the high point for this team, the Hoosiers have gotten progressively worse with each passing week. They need to win at Michigan State to avoid going 0-for in the division and they may have all they can handle when in-state rival Purdue comes to town with a potential Big Ten West championship on the line.

Every team in Major League Baseball has won a game more recently than these hapless Hoosiers.

Are Justin Wilcox’s California Golden Bears the worst team in the entire Pac-12?

As it turns out, the California Golden Bears are quite bad under Justin Wilcox. While most people still remember the valiant effort they put forth vs. Notre Dame in Marcus Freeman’s first win leading the Golden Domers, that seems to have been the straw that broke the camel’s back in Berkeley, alright. Cal is 3-7 on the season, 1-6 in Pac-12 play and has lost six straight games now.

While Wilcox’s job could be saved with a win over Stanford, or indifference by the university for that matter, he did have to fire a bunch of his assistants Sunday, including offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave. Overall, there are few programs as directionless as Cal is in the Power Five. Even if the Golden Bears were to make a change at head coach, how sure are we their luck will improve?

Under Wilcox, Cal has gone from a program with a proud tradition to mostly an anonymous one.
