I wouldn't say scorching for Fick, but it's hot for sure, and he just lost his GM and best recruiter to USC.

My gut is that he is safe at 8-4. 6-6/7-5 are dicy. Does that feel right to you? 

if it’s worse than 8-4, they definitely need to look better doing it.

Tough to say, given this:

That's how I'm looking at it right now. The seat goes from hot to scorching hot after that 4 game losing streak, and he's not allowed on the bus leaving Minnesota. If he can somehow win 6, he gets that 4th year, which looks a little easier at this time.

The Best Fast Food French Fries, Ranked

Some of these I've never had. I'd put Culver's at the top. For regionals, Portillo's takes the prize. Anyone ever had Shake Shack? I have not.

In n Out fries are notoriously terrible.  Even the InO fanbois usually admit that.

McDonald's burgers are not that great, but their fries are the absolute tops for fast food, IMO.  Hot, crispy, the right amount of salt.  Really good.

I was unimpressed with InO fries for sure.

Culver's are great.

In an Out are a waste of time, as are Wendy's.

I think when I went to Shake Shack I got a burger and a shake, and skipped the fries.  I'm a big salty > sweet, but if a place has good shakes, I will swap the fries for the shake every time.  Culvers isn't here, so I'll do both for the one time a year I get it.  Fuddruckers was another place that had great shakes and horrible fries

Fuddrucker's fries, at least around here, were the potato wedge style. They undercooked them often, but when they were actually cooked through, I thought they were pretty good.

The thing I loved about Fuddrucker's was the topping bar/salad bar which included hot queso.  I'd dump a ton of that on my fries, and some on the burger.

Sadly the last one around here closed a couple of years back.  I don't know where any are left.

Both by us left, yes, I did love the toppings bar.

My main memory of the couple times I had their fries were that they were undercooked, underseasoned potato wedges.  They were also the one fast food place that slapped the buns on the flattop as well.  I sometimes wouldn't put anything on them.  I know they had their haters, and I probably haven't had one since my early 20s, but I always loved their burgers

Downtown Madison got a Fuddrucker's during my time on campus. Some friend raved about it. 

The one time I went, seemed not great.

Yup I loved their burgers too.  And their shakes.  

They were heavily in the rotation in middle school, high school, and sometimes in college when I could afford it.  Since then, it's been pretty rare, but my son did like it so we went to the one nearby a couple of times per year.  Until it closed.

Fudds is out of Illinois. There are some down here.

And there is one in Austin, TX.

Austin - W. Slaughter Ln. | Fuddruckers®

Nothing close to me, which is just fine.

Slaughter Lane?  That would involve me driving through downtown and crossing the river.  Might as well be in South America.

We always visited family in Raliegh in the 90s, and would go.  There was none around us.  They put one in Flint, MI, which was on the way home from up north, so we always stopped there.  Moved to Pittsburgh in 2006 and there was one here.  I know I went once, but it would have been right around then.  It closed shortly thereafter, so I would guess 2006-07 was the last time I ate there.

I think if I could pick a burger and a shake from anywhere, In and Out still wins, because the burger is the main part.  But Fuddruckers burgers were solid, and their shakes were great.  I liked Shake Shack, but it felt very stressful, like Seinfeld Soup Nazi.  Granted I went to one in Chicago, and it was packed, but you better know what you want, you better not have any questions, you better understand the lingo, and you aren't going to get a table, so just order it to go
