Is every major Texas school going to clean house after this season? The way people talk you'd think
Mack Brown
Dennis Franchione
Mike Leach
Guy Morriss
Will all be fired after the season.

I can certainly understand the reasons you would think that, but it's not likely.
Historically, Texas Tech has had neither the resources nor the renown to assemble a national championship-contending team yet Mike Leach has managed to garner some level of national respect for the Red Raiders.
There's certainly a possibility of Baylor firing Guy Morriss, but who else would want the job? The Bears' head coaching position has become a bottomless abyss, a quantum singularity into which coaching careers plummet and dissappear, never to return.
And Longhorn fans know precisely what they have in Mack Brown and are well aware of the deficiencies in their coaching staff, and before I delve into those deficiencies, allow me to say this: Mack is a great coach. He won a national championship just two seasons ago, and he's been successful wherever he's been. He rebuilt our program from the calamity that was the late 80s and 1990s, and restored it to national prominence. However, Mack is a very poor gameday tactician, and he refuses to surround himself with innovative coaches and coordinators. He's frequently outcoached and outprepared on game days, and his teams seldom exhibit the passion and fire of their opposition. We simply accept these faults because we know circumstances could be much worse.
Of all the coaches you listed, Franchione's position is the most tenuous because of both the product on the field and this "VIP inside information" story.
