Hot Seat Odds: Who will be the First Coach Fired in Each Conference?

Dino Babers, Tom Herman, Lovie Smith, and Will Muschamp are the respective favorites to be the next college football coaches sent packing

There's a general belief that due to the uncertainly surrounding the 2020 college football season a lot of coaches are going have a free pass from the hot seat.

Let's just say don't bet on it.  

On one hand, spring practices were canceled or cut way short. Leagues were opting out, never mind the players, only to reverse direction. Schedules look nothing like their original form. 

That was just all in the offseason and setup to the start of the season. Now you have the SEC set to play its first games, while there are also situations like Houston seeing its first four scheduled games canceled. 

But the extreme level of uncertainty works both ways, and nothing seems out-of-bounds. We might even see schools eventually let coaches go in cost-cutting moves. 

Like usual, though, winning seems to cure nearly all ills. 

Since the Pac-12 is still on the sideline regarding its decision to play, they're exempt from this for now, but here are the latest odds from BetOnline on which coaches will be the next to be let go in their respective conferences. 

Nick Saban's chances of sticking at Alabama appear to be pretty good. Who knew?
