Will it be when everyone comes back to work tomorrow (Monday)? Or does he have a long enough leash that rumblings won't start until we lose a couple more?

Then we should know in 2 weeks after the next 2 losses.

He has to weigh in on the official hot seat scale located in Bismark, North Dakota first.

After that 12 million dollar buyout amount goes down.

you do realize that it's warm right now, right? It's going to get hot after we lose to Auburn and Florida. He won't be fired this season, but it's going to be SCALDING next season.

unless you have a cool $12 million lying around you're willing to part with he won't be on the hot seat no matter what unless he was to do something where he could be fire for cause.

wait till O gets the dreaded vote of confidence. He's probably okay until Alleva makes a statement at all.

LSU athletics stand to lose much more than $12m this year if they play like this the rest of the year.

We have 7 sec games left on the schedule. If we go 1-7 in the sec with several of those being blow out losses he will be on the hot seat. I'd say anything less than 4-3 for the remainder of the schedule will have the seat hot next year. Any worse and it it gets really hot.

If we get beat like a drum next week his seat is very hot imo

And then follow that up with an even worse drubbing at home and writing is on the wall I think

Next year's schedule is tough. O is going to be hot for a while.

Isn't LSU still paying Miles too? I seriously doubt they're going to be willing to pay two buyouts at the same time no matter how bad it gets this season.

You'd have to get someone like Shaq to put up a chunk of the money.

People said the same thing about a buyout wouldn’t allow canning Miles last year and we still did. I think if it gets bad enough, a move will be made despite the hefty dual-buyouts

Next year because no way they're dropping 12 million on his buyout

All we need is one high profile fan to take up a collection. We already have Gofundme collections, but there's no guarantee behind them. If a known quantity takes up the collection and every season ticket holder puts in $200, we have enough to buy out Zero AND Amoeba. And season ticket holders won't be the only ones to contribute.
