[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1403052"] We can argue about whether he will or won't be on the hot seat, but that really depends on JW and the pressure he's feeling from a variety of sources. Another 2 win season, and you can guarantee that discontent will increase. Enough to create a hot seat scenario? Probably not. But rising discontent, nonetheless. As for the players he's bringing in......Beason and Williams are a great tandem, but our 2019 class doesn't feature a single kid in the top-800 outside of those two. Our 2018 class was the #12 class in the Big Ten, and we're probably going to fall outside of the top 10 in the Big Ten for the 2019 class as well. We are light years behind the upper tier of the Big Ten, lagging behind the likes of Iowa, Minnesota, and even Purdue, and probably on par with the likes of NW recruiting-wise. In terms of trajectory based on talent, we are headed for maybe a 4-win season in 2019. If Lovie can only point to 10 or 11 wins in his first 4 seasons combined, you can believe the seat gets pretty hot. [/QUOTE]
