For those who think Les should be fired

Neither should be fired. They are both damn good coaches.

Apparently more than a small portion of our fan base

neither should be fired, but a little criticism thrown their way should not be blasted upon.

Just because they are being criticized doesn't mean people want them fired.

One thing is for sure, they had similar problems this year...offense stunk it up when it was clutch time.

Let the butthurt flow through you.

They are both nice guys and very capable coaches. I think any program should be happy to have both guys.

But I think they both lack something, and I can't put it into words, maybe a killer instinct, or unquenchable desire to win championships.

I think our football and baseball teams will always have great regular seasons, and then in the postseason where talent is so equal and the smallest coaching differences mean so much, we will be defeated the majority of the time. Not to say we will never win another NC with either coach, but I think each of them has access to more talent than most, but they usually get exposed when they are up against equal talent.

An example from football would be the 2011 National Title game, and an example from baseball would be this years CWS.

I'm not saying these coaches are happy getting so close but not winning it all, but it seems like both squads can cruise through the regular season (which is easier as a whole) and then usually struggle in postseason against equal talent on the field and matching wits against opposing coaches.

No one in their right mind and properly informed would fire either of those guys. They are doing a pretty decent job and they are both keeping their respective programs in contention. They have both won national titles. Thank God, the NCAA can't frick with the actual football like they do baseballs and bats. When it comes to baseball, my beef is moreso with them.

I might add, Johnny Jones has been a pleasant surprise. I really didn't think he was up to the job back when the hire was being made. But in watching things, he just may bring the basketball program back. Time will tell. However, it would appear that I was in error about my assumptions, and I have no problem admitting that. If progress continues, there will be three major men's programs back in the limelight before long. Doesn't mean that they don't deserve some criticism when they frick up, but that doesn't equate with needing to fire them.

Neither one will be fired anytime soon, but if I had to pick one to get fired first or who I'd rather see get fired first I would go with CPM

It's funny all the Les haters always act like we are the only team with top talent

In baseball it isn't SEC titles, tourney titles, or lack of NC.

In football it isn't west titles, SEC titles, BCS bowl games, BCSCG's, or BCS title.

So, what do you see these two coaches missing?

Perhaps some question whether they possess the capability of winning another championship? I definitely feel like we're do for another in either sport over the next 3-5 years
