What coaches will be facing HIGH expectations in the upcoming season...

Being in the championship game does not equate to winning it.

Expectation isn't the result, it's the presumption or belief that you will achieve some lofty goals.

I really don't care. I like USC! So I'll defer to your expertise. I hope they get back to the top again. College football was pretty awesome back then IMO.

So winning the PAC and being in contention for a playoff spot isn't high expectations? LOL. Yeah ok.

Come on, it's the Pac12, it can't be that tough to win that conference.

Franklin probably bought himself at least 2 years of shitty seasons with last year's performance, especially when you consider the level he's recruiting at now. There will be a 'next year is the year' argument for 2-3 years.

Which brings me to Butch Jones. Like Franklin, a good recruiter, but shit coach. I'd say Butch is on borrowed time after last years collapse both on the field and off. There is a shot UT may win 5 games next year. 7 or fewer, and he's gotta be gone.

Gus Malzahn, like Ed O, is one of those confusing incestuous SEC hires where a bad coach just gets passed around from team to team.
