"Coach on the hottest seat: Texas' Mack Brown. The guy has averaged a bit more than 10 wins per Texas has underachieved the past two seasons, and coach Mack Brown should be feeling the heat. (AP)season in 14 years and he's on the hot seat? Well, sort of. Texas has lost 12 games in the past two seasons, the highest two-season loss total since 1996-97; then-coach John Mackovic was fired after that '97 campaign. And to be fair, those 12 losses over the past two seasons equal the total number of losses in the previous seven seasons combined."

And "to be fair", the twelve wins included at least six cupacakes and two wins over Texas Tech:

Wow, Baylor WR Tevin Reese with a 45.5" vertical. Hard to fathom. Tuberville's on the hot seat if they struggle this year. Nice to see amlittlenrespect for SMU.
