The hot seat is meaningless this year. Schools and their boosters are facing an unprecedented economic impact and anyone of note has a contractual buyout that will buy them another year.
Six months ago dropping 8 figures to fire someone and another 8 figures to hire someone the base approved of was easy for some and a stretch but doable for the rest. Now, unless it's a school that has a HC a billionaire alum absolutely hates, AD's are going to look at the economic hit and decide they are better off losing money on attendance next year and save money on a cheaper buyout in the future.
