NFL Coaches Hot Seat Has Plenty of Heat

It's now week 7 of the 2013 NFL season, and one of the more disturbing trends in football nowadays is the coaches hot seat. Seemingly a peak meter that fans and media alike keep consistent track of from the word go is at full tilt this week.

Plenty of teams have underachieved this year, and there are others who have coaches who knew, coming into this season, that they had to win or else.  So who's on the hot seat? What's the temperature?
Take a look below:

Team
Coach
Seat
Prediction
New York Giants
Tom Coughlin (0-6)
Projection: (3-13)
Luke Warm
Giants will win 2-3 games, but Coughlin will come back.
New York Jets
Rex Ryan (3-3)
Projection: (6-10)
Luke Warm
They said his relationship with GM was better, but if things go south toward a 6-10 finish, he’s out.
Buffalo Bills
Doug Marone (2-4)
Projection: (5-11)
Cool
Expectations were already low. Marone gets 1 more year.
Cincinnati Bengals
Marvin Lewis (4-2)
Projection: (10-6)
Cool
If CIN misses or losses in playoffs he could be in trouble.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Tomlin (1-4)
Projection: (9-7)
Ice Cold
Pittsburgh doesn’t fire winning coaches.
Houston Texans
Gary Kubiak (2-4)
Projection: (7-9)
Hot
He’s a goner. Texans are going to miss playoffs.
Tennessee Titans
Mike Muncheck (3-3)
Projection: (7-9)
Luke Warm
Like Rex Ryan, if he finishes worse than 7-9/8-8, he’s out.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Gus Bradley (0-6)
Projection: (1-15)
Luke Warm
Came into a mess, deserves another year to work it out, but we’ve seen 1st year coaches go before. He’s out.
Oakland Raiders
Dennis Allen (2-4)
Projection: (4-12)
Warm
Allen is out no matter what.
Dallas Cowboys
Jason Garrett (3-3)
Projection: (8-8)
 Warm
Garrett will likely get fired even if Dallas makes the playoffs.
Washington Redskins
Mike Shanahan (1-4)
Projection: (5-11)
Luke Warm
IF RGIII wants him out, Shanahan is out.
Detroit Lions
Jim Schwartz (4-2)
Projection: (9-7)
Cool
DET has to make the playoffs. Right now they are in position to either make it or blow it. Blow it, good bye.
Minnesota Vikings
Leslie Fraizer (1-4)
Projection: (6-10)
Warm
Could get a second chance. MIN made playoffs last year.
Atlanta Falcons
Mike Smith (1-4)
Projection: (7-9)
Luke Warm
Deserves another shot. This year is a freak year.
Carolina Panthers
Ron Rivera (2-3)
Projection: (7-9)
Hot
Might get fired no matter what.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Greg Schiano (0-5)
Projection: (1-15)
Boiling Hot
He is going to be 1st coach fired.
