Les is on the hot seat. Funny how there are so many folks on here that think he does no wrong an can't understand why he's in the position he's in.


If by hot seat you mean he'd get fired on the insanely anemic chance we miss a bowl game, then yeah I guess he is. The question is, who the hell do you want to get? Its not like there are a bunch of great coaches out looking for work. You'd also have to explain to the coaches why you fired a guy who won a national championship less than 5 years ago and has consistently recruited top 10 classes. People won't be clawing to get a job here in that situation.

No you wouldn't. If Les is fired, it will be because he had a third crappy year in conference and proved that the great record 05-07 had more to do with the quality of competition and the quality of the program he inherited than it did with his coaching ability.
I don't want any coach who isn't keen enough to watch Miles coach and not see why he might get fired despite his early success here.

When Saban left us with a team considered far and wide to be a top 5 program, we went and got a guy from Okie State who few of us knew much about. Now, 6 years later, at a point when we are no longer even in any national conversation as to who's going to win the SEC, you're scared that we can't find somebody as good as Les?

If we go 4-4 in the SEC again this year, after all of these supposedly great recruiting classes, it will be b/c we have a less disciplined, less focused team led by coaches who aren't as good as the ones on the other side of the field. At that point, I have a hard time seeing how any of you would really be scared to lose Les Miles.

Hmmm. Frank Solich, RC Slocum and Ron Zook probably would agree with you right up until they were fired...
