Willingham, the Alumni are really unhappy and the school basically gave him this year to do something. I think he gets clipped right at the end of the season, Fat Phil and Charlie (Little Tuna? Seriously, how can you call this guy "little" anything.) Will probably survive the year.

It seems rather obvious that Willingham's performance is worst and the upside for his team is questionable, so I suppose he probably will be first to go.
Personally, I think if Weis loses five games this year he may be just as vulnerable.

It's my understading that he picked up that nickname while coaching in the same league as Bill "Tuna" Parcells. Ego wise it's a pretty even match.

It appears Greg Robinson at Syracuse will actually be the first to go...when the AD calls ESPN to defend the school's athletic program by citing their field hockey record, the football coach is meat.

Agree, but of the three choices suggested Ty will be the first to go, and probably the only one this year. Fulmer can always fire his assistants, shake up the staff, and flash his national championship ring. Weis has the ridiculous contract and the youth argument.
Willingham, however, will not go to the unemployment line alone.
I'd think Greg Robinson (Syracuse), Al Groh (Virginia), and Chuck Long (San Diego State) are all among the coaches living week to week. For them its not a question of if they'll be fired, but rather if they'll be fired later this afternoon.
Dave Wannstedt, Mike Stoops, Mike Price, and Kirk Ferentz should probably have their resumes current as well.

Yep, and I don't think Bobby Bowden is that safe either. AND if Joe Pa gets hit by Illinois, Wisconsin and OSU he might have a difficult time hanging on.
