Is Miles' Job on the Line Every Week?

Another lose for this team would obviously be a failure of a season in the eyes of most of the fans but do we fire a 10-2 (being optimistic) coach? What if his only other loss is to Florida and he rallys against Alabama, do we keep him?

I think he's on the hotseat for the entire season.

He probably survives, yes, as that probably wins us the West and gets us to the SEC championship game

No. His job will be on the line at the end of the season. His body of work will determine his fate.
I predict that he is gone.

Miles is going to be on the hotseat until we get back to the SECCG. That means beating Fla, Bama, Ole Miss, Arky and aTm. If we lose any of those games, which we will *cough* BAMA *cough* everyone will be on his arse again.

He is on the hot seat, but it won't be "one" game that gets him fired, it will be a combination of loses. He has a one game buffer I think maybe two.

Yes, for the time being. If we'd lost to state, I would not have been surprised to hear about a change Monday morning. The same goes for Auburn, Missouri and Southern Miss. If he gets past those and loses to Florida, I'd expect the administration to take a wait and see approach (i.e. a loss to Florida takes you out of the playoff race but not the race for the SEC, especially since they are in the east. We'd still technically control our own destiny with respect to an SEC Championship).

All of our coaches, players, and Athletic Directors need to feel the heat every week. This isnt a "oh, I have a contract for x amount of years, I'll just sit this season out mentally."

the only person that knows what the standard is is alleva.

In the eyes of most he is always on the line but to the people who make decisions it's not an issue.

Yes after the Wisconsin debacle Miles is coaching for his job every game this year. He needs to go 10-2 or better unless there are some VERY extenuating circumstances to why he lost more than 2 games. And if he does go 10-2 and our only other loss is Bama, as long as it isn't an embarrassing loss to Bama I think he survives. But if he gets blown out by Bama at home then no I think that might push it over the edge even if he does go 10-2.

What is etched in my mind (and I suspect the minds of knowledgable LSU fans) is that image of Harris throwing that game ending interception. The fact LSU lost that game because Les Miles kept Harris in the game way to long cannot be erased from the minds of many sportscasters and pundits. That Wisconsin debacle will haunt LSU all this season.
Subsequent video of the game shows Harris repeatedly put his offensive line in a difficult situation simply because he wouldn't stay in the pocket. I mean he kept dropping back out of his OL protection. This allowed the Wisky defensive to blow past the LSU OL and just clobber Harris repeatedly. The Miles response to this was to send Fournette into the mouth of the beast (stacked box), Whereupon he got hurt. LSU is lucky Fournette heals fast.
Is Miles' Job on the Line Every Week? Absolutely.

Yes his job is on the line. Winning is the only thing that saves him. I would expect even a Mark Richt type of 9-3 season with nothing to show for it would be enough to move on after this year.

He knew going into the season it was a season thing..
I would not be happy keeping him if he loses another game.
I want LSU to win out though.

10 wins with no division title may not even keep him from being fired. So, yes, he's coaching for his job every single week.
