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

Jimbo Fisher could drop seven straight SEC games with a UMass loss in between

I am not sure it could possibly get any worse for Texas A&M than right now. They are an atrocious 3-7 on the season and 1-6 in SEC play. The Aggies have now lost six conference games in a row, including a borderline unthinkable one at Auburn to interim head coach Carnell “Cadillac” Williams. Besides recruiting well and getting paid a ton of money, how does Jimbo Fisher still have his job?

Texas A&M is the first, and only, SEC team to lose seven games on the season and fail to achieve bowl eligibility. Vanderbilt (yes, Vanderbilt!) was able to stay alive longer in the postseason race than the Aggies. While Texas A&M still has to play LSU at the end of the year, what is to say the Aggies do not completely quit on their head coach and lose another ridiculous one to UMass here?

Texas A&M had the No. 1 recruiting class in the 2022 cycle and they have won only three games!

Neal Brown may not even get another loss as the head coach at West Virginia

So you’re telling me there’s a chance? After beating Oklahoma at home by three, Neal Brown could keep his job at West Virginia if the Mountaineers were to finish the regular season on a three-game winning streak to achieve bowl eligibility. Unfortunately, they have to play arguably the second-best team in the Big 12 in Kansas State, as well as Oklahoma State in back-to-back weeks.

Unfortunately, WVU decided to move on from athletic director Shane Lyons anyway after the Oklahoma game. This means is West Virginia University will be conducting a thorough search for Lyons’ replacement. Given that his successor will not have hired Brown anyway, it might be time for both parties to go their separate ways and give the Mountaineers a real shot at greatness here.

With Lyons out, it feels like an inevitability that Brown is coaching his final season in Morgantown.
