College football coaches on the hot seat in 2016.
Addazio's Eagles had a historically bad season in 2015, going 0-8 in the ACC and 3-9 overall. He's garnered some leeway after making a bowl in his first two seasons at BC but must have greater success in the ACC this year to quiet the whispers.
Beaty stepped into an unenviable situation at KU following the firing of Charlie Weis. Still, the Jayhawks had arguably the worst season ever by an FBS school, going an imperfect 0-12 in Beaty's first season. Promoted from wide receivers coach at Texas A&M, some thought Beaty wasn't qualified for the head coaching job to begin with.
Bohl had an incredible run at North Dakota State before taking the Wyoming job, but his success hasn't transferred in two seasons. He went 2-10 in 2015 after going 4-8 in 2014. He likely needs to improve in his third year.
Clawson took the Wake Forest job after having success at Bowling Green. Wake Forest is a difficult job, and Clawson has gone 3-9 in consecutive seasons.
Creighton is 1-15 over two seasons in MAC play, and Eastern Michigan had embarrassing attendance numbers last season. The school has no choice but to move on if the football program doesn't show progress.
Ole Miss' football success has been unmatched with Freeze at the helm, but the program has an embarrassing NFL Draft night led by the controversies surrounding Laremy Tunsil. The school was already facing possible sanctions after a letter from the NCAA in February.
Kent State has shown no improvement in Haynes' three seasons at the school, going 6-17 in the MAC and 9-26 overall. He might need to make a bowl for Haynes to keep his job following 2016.
Hazell parlayed a 11-3 season at Kent State in 2012 into the Purdue head coaching job, but the team has made no progress in three seasons. Over that time, Boilermakers are 2-22 in the Big Ten and 6-30 overall.
Colorado has been a bottom feeder since joining the Pac-12. Over three seasons, MacIntyre's Colorado teams have gone 2-25 in conference and 10-27 overall.
Malzahn could be a victim of the high expectations he's set with a miracle appearance in the National Championship Game in 2013-14 and top recruiting classes over his three seasons. Last season the Tigers barely made a bowl at 7-6, going just 2-6 in conference. Malzahn made $3.8 million last season, so mediocrity won't be tolerated for much longer.
Martin had several years of great success at Grand Valley State but hasn't been able to repeat that success in two seasons at Miami. He's just 4-12 in the MAC and 5-19 overall.
Martin left Kent State for New Mexico State, where he's gone 7-29 in three seasons. The team hasn't had much success in two seasons since joining the Sun Belt.
After a truly bizarre ending to Miles' 2015 regular season, he was retained by LSU's administration. He's had incredible success at the school, going 112-32 in 11 seasons and winning one National Championship. Given what the administration pulled last year, reportedly looking into hiring Jimbo Fisher, all bets are off if Miles doesn't compete in the SEC West in 2016.
The Army head coaching job is one of the most difficult in all of college sports. Monken has struggled in two seasons, going 6-18.
Partridge has struggled in two seasons at Florida Atlantic, going 5-11 in Conference USA and 6-18 overall. He could need to improve in his third year.
Petrino's Vandals did start to show improvement last season, going 4-8, but they're still only 6-29 over his three seasons. Bobby Petrino's brother will need to continue the progress.
The Wildcats have been in search of consistent football success since Rich Brooks retired. While Kentucky has nearly made a bowl the last two seasons, given the resources as an SEC school the expectations are much higher. Stoops is 12-24 in three seasons at Kentucky.
Failure to be in the national conversation, much less missing a bowl, is unacceptable for Longhorns fans given the school's incredible resources. Texas has given him time to dig out of a hole in two seasons, going 11-14, and expects a huge jump in year three.
Sumlin was considered a genius when he was coaching Johnny Manziel, but things have changed drastically over the last two seasons. The Aggies are 11-13 in the SEC over the last three years and have had some concerning issues with transfers and recruits decommitting. Sumlin's program needs to make progress in 2016.
The former Illinois head coach has actually helped Florida International improve consistently over the last three seasons, but the team still haven't posted a winning record in his time, capping off at 5-7 last year.
UMass was thrilled to bring Whipple back after he had a great stint from 1998-2003 that included a Division I-AA Championship, but his second stint hasn't gone as well. The Minutemen are 6-18 over the last two seasons.
It could be impossible to win at Indiana, but Wilson did make a bowl game in his fifth season despite going 2-6 in the Big Ten. The expectations are low in Bloomington, but Wilson needs to continue to meet them.
