his seat will be hot. It is the 3-9 that would be the problem, not the BYU game. Whenever someone makes these claims that beating BYU is enough, they just conveniently ignores McBride firing.
He also would still have another 2 seasons after this year if he goes 3-9 and losses to BYU. I just don't see how with what he has done at Utah that you give him less than 5 years, barring a major scandal.
