This year he was able to get away with not firing his coDCs, instead they get jobs. So now he has a selling point to get a good DC by saying he cant keep his coordinators because people are calling them for better jobs.
other coaches know what was going on here, do you think other coaches will really belive this?

I think he's very smart. The way this year ends and the next one starts will be a true test for him. I think he does some really smart things over the next 8 months to turn this team around... and the first steps easy. He doesn't even have to fire his co-dc's.

What the other coaches will know is that Miles is a stand up guy and kept his coaches on staff until they found jobs. I think Miles made the right decision as the head coach and as a person.

It isn't a matter of people not knowing the real deal. But it's easier to justify a good hire to your AD, Board, etc. if the guy you're hiring wasn't actually fired. Or, to put it differently, if he was fined, no matter how good a fit he is, the firing might cost him a job. It's about appearances which, like it or not, are important.
