Personally, I think he can beat Miles' last 3 years in the SEC (14-10).

Well I certainly hope so, seeing as how that is the record that got Miles fired.

But that can't be the standard for the hire being considered successful. 14-10 got an SEC and NC Champion coach fired, why the hell wouldn't 15-9 get O fired?? 16-8 isn't good enough either. If that's his record after three years it is a clear move on moment imo. You don't fire a 12 year coach to be satisfied with a new coach that gets a similar level of success that he had in his DOWN years.

Two SEC losses a year is pretty much the bar that O has to meet, at minimum. Anything less than that and there is no net gain. The hire didn't do what he was brought in to do.

I'm not saying 9-3 gets him fired next year, but it is definitely a disappointment and should make 2018 a make or break season.

8-4 on the other hand, is a complete joke given how weak the SEC is right now. If you can't do better than .500 in the SEC with what most of us agree is the best DC in football, a creative new OC, a Heisman contender at RB, a returning starting QB in his fifth year of eligibility and loads of talent from the last three recruiting classes (which he personally helped put together), the results should speak for themselves.
