After Watson’s extension, he was named SEC Co-Coach of the year and would have made the tournament last year with a normal draw. His kids are happy in the program and play hard for him.
That said, Hunter Yurachek didn’t hire Jason. I am actually curious about what the team needs to achieve this year in order to keep Jason’s seat only mildly warm.

He's making >$250K and hasn't made the tourney in his first five seasons. They were making the tourney at least occasionally under the last coach, and it wasn't a perennial cellar dweller before him. I don't see how they renew him if they don't make it this year. Especially when they lost to UALR.

I don't see how they renew him if they don't make it this year. Especially when they lost to UALR. I don’t think his base salary is that high, actually, but that’s a quibble. He is making “expected to be good” money. Pulliza made the tournament twice in 8 years and was on a steep downward trajectory when he resigned under pressure. Jason inherited a mess (Arkansas wasn’t allowed in some clubs’ gyms to recruit due to Robbie), and it’s taken him longer than I would have liked to turn it around, but he wasn’t an overnight success at AZ State. While I don’t think one early season loss to UALR will make much difference in the big picture, there do need to be results. I guess we’ll see.

Well if he just signed a new contract his seats not hot. Also he was a success at AZ State because of their OH they had there; who happens to be his asst now. He did inherit a mess and now has a program the kids can be proud of. I can't see how he gets on the hot seat unless things fall apart

I can't see how he gets on the hot seat unless things fall apart Watson also had a pretty successful, albeit brief, run at BYU before his time at Arizona State. The 2007 team made the Elite Eight, which was easily the best season for BYU volleyball in the post-Michaelis and pre-Olmstead(s) era (2002-2010). They also made the tournament all three years that he was the head coach, and I knew several players on the team, and they all liked him. I'm not sure about his Arkansas tenure, but I think he's a good coach.

Whether he was a "success" at ASU is open to some debate. The team was definitely better when Gardner thrived, before the tragic injury. However, 8-12 (2013), 9-11 (2014) and 8-12 (2015) in PAC12 play didn't exactly light it up.

Maybe in the thread, but what do you think about Iowa? Brand new arena and I see a lot of black and gold seats.

Definitely a slow start, though the previous coach went 43-70 (38.1%) and made just one NCAA appearance (with a 16-15 record) in five seasons. Whether he was a "success" or not I guess depends on your criteria, but there's no question Watson did a better job than his predecessor did.

You really think UGA is a hot seat? UGA only won 1 conference game the season before he got there, so I don't think so. Of course that could change if they completely tank during the conference season. I don't see it happening, though. UGA has series with Mizzou, Bama, Auburn and Ole Miss. That's 7 or 8 conference wins right there. I wouldn't count on wins against Auburn or Ole Miss. Obviously they can win those matches, but those are not matching that you should be marking off as wins before they happen..

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but… LSU UGA MIZZOU You really think UGA is a hot seat? GA and its Gold Medal Square bull$#!+ !!! Fire this guy. Please. If he actually spent some time scouting his opponents they could win 2/3 of their SEC matches consistently.

I had a chance to see UGA in person for the first time last night. I saw Carolina play two matches against UCF and thought UGA was comparable. In fact, UGA beat UCF in Orlando earlier this season. Georgia's better than their record indicates is what I'm trying to say. The wisdom of Black's scheduling so aggressively OOC could be questioned (they haven't played a home match in a month), but the team would have to completely come apart for him to be on the hot seat.

No offense to Bannister but she's not better than Deberg So what are you saying? That she is not up to your standards, but does that matter in a team game? She is a part of the lineup that is really good so missing her is not that big of a deal? ? What about missing her and the other three starters? #HeadFake
