We need to get over this football coach near firing thing

this is the last time i'm gonna post on the recent incident. it's not as big a deal as some are making it. all of the fire alleva, fire alexander, etc, etc hopefully will stop. it "appears" that we tried to fire miles and hire another coach, probably fisher. it didn't work, for whatever reason, and miles survived.

think about what the reaction would have been if it HAD worked. part of our fanbase would have been dancing in the street (and of course predicting 10 straight NC's) and part would be sad and part would be mad as hell at the way Miles was treated. the national media would have ramped up their criticism of LSU and many of our fans would have said we deserved it. recruits and their families would have questioned a decision to attend LSU and our program would have been in chaos for awhile; probably resulting in a lost year of recruiting.

and the new guy would have a lot of "enemies" from the get go and inevitably his play calling would suck and there would be calls for his firing way before the usual "honeymoon" period expired.

my point is nothing happened and a bunch of money was saved. miles can substantially save the recruiting class and everyone can move on. this perceived embarrassment is bull shite. we are off the news radar and will be forgotten very quickly on the national level. in fact, many I've talked to sang LSU's praises for "doing the right thing" in regards to Miles. he really came off as the innocent "good guy" against all those "evil" admin and fans that just want to win every game types.

once it got out LSU was serious, all results were "bad" for LSU. but, in reality, football should not be that important.
