Dennis Dodd released his "hot seat ratings" for 2023-24. Here's how it works:
5 = Win or Be Fired
4 = Start Improving Now
3 = Pressure is Mounting
2 = All Good...For Now
1 = Safe & Secure
0 = Untouchable
Dennis Dodd gave Memphis Head Football Coach Ryan Silverfield a "3". From CBS/Dodd:
"This conclusion is based half on Silverfield (6-10 in the AAC since 2020) and half on circumstances. Cincinnati, Houston and UCF grabbed the brass ring in the Big 12. For whatever reasons, Memphis has been left out in realignment despite desperately wanting to be part of the Big 12. The Tigers need to cause a national stir in the suddenly wide-open AAC. The pressure is on to take over the league with the big boys gone. Silverfield is a good coach who just had an added burden heaped on him: get the Tigers good enough to be attractive to a bigger, better conference. 2022 rating: 1"
Several 92.9 FM ESPN hosts "tackled" the subject of "where should Ryan Silverfield be" on this list. Here's what happened on the Geoff Calkins Show:
