Hugh Freeze: 9

Despite the name, ironically enough, Freeze has the hottest seat in the SEC. Not only does he have the NCAA lurking behind his back, but the Rebels went 5-7 last season, including a 2-6 record in the SEC.

Ole Miss’s schedule is set up with five easy wins. But if they post a 7-5 record in the regular season next year, it will be extremely difficult for Freeze to stay in Oxford.
