They would include WVU, Nebraska and Iowa. Any other choices? Maybe UConn?

EMU.  Considering they barely beat Howard at home today, I'm sure they'll be wishing English good luck in his future endeavors.

Iowa State, unless they beat Iowa next week.  6-7 last year; lost at home to Northern Iowa tonight.

Kentucky, especially if L'ville goes to another BCS bowl this year.

USF.  Cannot suck any worse.  Taggart may be in his first year there, but when you lose by 30+ points at home to a 1AA school that was 7-4 last year, the leash gets real short.

Agree with
Yukon
WVU (if Luck holds Holgerson to the same standard as he did Stewart. Stewart won 9 games a year.) 
USF just had a coaching change. It was Skip Holtz that brought that program down. He lost big today in his first game at at La Tech.
Every coach that lost this weekend to an FCS school. You are in for a long season when that happens.

Stoops's first season at Kentucky, no way he gets fired unless he brings NCAA sanctions down on the BASKETBALL team

Nebraska? I haven't heard anyone grumbling, so unless Pelini moves on his own, I don't see a change.

I think its the end of the line at CMU, probably, and Miami also might be looking for a change soon.

After losing to WKU, don't bet on it.

Yeah, Enos and Treadwell really have to show more than they did yesterday.  At least Enos has the excuse that they were playing Michigan.

Well, when Enos took over, CMU was at the top of the MAC. They have been in the bottom half ever since. He runs a clean program, but, is that enough?

I'm a Nebraska grad (MS) and after that game last night, he should be gone at the end of the season. I dont spend a lit of time on the Nebraska boards, but im pretty sure there are some questions being asked about his future. And Pelini has been on some watch lists before for his shortcomings in the big games. Let me put it this way, if Wyoming can put up 35 first downs and 602 yards , it's going to be a long season for Pelini and his defense.
Edit:Check out huskerboard.com to see where the fans are on Pelini and his staff. Very interesting reading. There seems to be no secret about the fans concern about this coaching staff.

You could be right, i don't know. I don't read any of those boards. I just haven't heard grumbling locally, but I know the boards tend to have the more rabid people. I'd have thought they would have learned a bit from the last few coaches, though, that the grass isn't always greener. Myself I do tend to think Pelini is a much better assistant than he is a head coach, but he's an OK head coach. What some of those guys need to get over is the idea that somehow Nebraska automatically should be top 10 every year, and a National Champion every 3 years. They can change coaches as often as they want, but it isn't going to happen.

Having a new AD doesn't help Pelini any. Since Solich left, no coach has really exceeded the success that he had at Nebraska. But the season is young. I agree that Pelini hasn't built up enough good will that he could survive a terrible season, but he isn't in major trouble this early.

I don't really think there are a large number of Nebraska fans who think they will top ten every year or win a championship every 3 years. That is simply made up stuff. I can say that with their fan base, facilities, attendance and resources that that should be doing better than that have done since Solich. They can afford better than they have.

A terrible season? No, he might not survive that, but at, say, 9-4 he should be safe. The real question I have for the Nebraska nuts is why they think Nebraska should be inherently better than, say, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, or Wisconsin? They are all in the same general geographic area. None of them have a coast, or mountains to recruit to. None have a huge local pool of natural talent. I guess that, like Akron, Nebraska does have malls, though. ;)

you keep talking like that and I'm going to become one of those nuts. Again, nobody thinks they should be inherently better, but they mostly have been over the past 30-40 years. They have the championships, the Heisman winners, the attendance, the fan following to away games, etc. Some can argue that just having big farm boys and a few skill guys from Omaha doesn't cut it anymore, and they are right. With all the TV exposure now, players aren't as prone to just stay local. I'm not sure that having a coast or a Mountain nearby is all that important to a recruit as tradition, coaching, exposure, and facilities. I feel like Nebraska has 3 of those things going for it, not the forth.
