I'd love to hear the resident gators' opinion on this.

I personally think Florida can do MUCH better than Muschamp and it's hard for me to believe the heat wouldn't start with a solid loss to UT.

As for the UT fans, if Tennessee wins - is Dooley officially off the hot seat?

It's hot seat, not hot potato. You don't pass it!

I don't know why Muschamp would be on the hot seat for losing an away game against an opponent that is favored to win.

Not really IMO. If he can get all the way to Bama weekend without a loss, only a crazy fan would say he isn't safe for this year. His seat was pretty warm entering the year, and it's probably going to take more than one quality win to put that fire out for good.

Well for the Vols, I would consider a win over Florida somewhat of a sign that times are a changin'

I wonder if Gator fans would feel the same way, but the opposite direction.

I consider the NCSU win a quality win too. People are discounting it already because they didn't blow out UConn. At the end of the year we'll look back and say that was a solid win.

Dooley still needs 8 wins to keep his job, by beating the gators gets himself of the hot seat. He has to beat UF, UGA, USCe, and Bama consistently to keep his job

I think a win over Florida gets Dooley off the hotseat, as long as we don't finish 6-6 after that win. Chizik may be the recipient of the "SEC Coach on the hotseat" award.

Win or lose,Muschamp is a badbadbad hire..loose cannon and the players reflect it in their temperment and performance..He will NOT be the Florida coach in 2014 short of a couple of 10 win seasons

Muschamp has hot seatable issues. The team is sliding down. He seems bewildered. It seems that Urbie knew it and found a place to hide but coaching at FL is not the place to hide.

Dooley has never been on the "hot seat". It's just stuff for writers, talking heads, and moronic fans to talk about while waiting for the next game.

I could see a few Florida fans calling for his head just because they have gotten so used to beating Tennessee year in and year out. So when we destroy them on Saturday a lot of Gator fans will start saying things like "now we've gotten so bad we've started losing to Tennessee" similar to Vols fans reactions after the loss to UK last year, just not as extreme.

His body of work so far doesn't look good, even if Urbie left them bare, don't think some of the gator faithful can accept that they aren't good anymore. I already heard one of them say he was worse than Zook. He is going to take the bullet for Urban because he doesn't have any goodwill built up.

Also saw the barners are starting to see Chizik for what he is too and are starting to call for his head.

We Gators tend to not be so irrational as to call for the head coach's head based on one or two losses.

I'm looking at how he's doing on recruiting, whether he can turn around the discipline/penalty problems, and whether we are headed in the right direction in terms of building an offensive scheme.

Defensively, we are as good as one can hope. Offensively we are a wreck. Need to have continuity at coordinator, need to go find us some top flight QB and WR talent....

The winning will follow.

The question really isn't whether a win is good enough or not. We barely win and people will still be talking "hot seat". We win convincingly and hopefully the "hot seat" talk goes away.

No. Most Florida fans past the age of 30, i.e. the ones who donate money, expect to lose to Tennessee this year and to have a mediocre season.

Lose to the likes of Kentucky or Vandy, and the current concern might elevate into a firm buzz.

How would y'all like it if people were always talking about firing you ? :question: Guess every coach lives with that reality.
