But what all the posi-tigers have to understand is this is business. When you are paid the 4th highest pay in your industry you need to perform to that standard also. Meaning a 10-3 record, finishing 14th in the polls and losing in the bowl game WILL NOT SUFFICE.

and with the business of college football, you don't take 1 slightly disappointing season to judge the entirety of a coach's body of work. alabama went 10-3 the year after saban's national title in 2009. would you say the same thing about him? my guess would be no

First, you might not want to compare us to Bama because you would lose that argument, they have won 3 of the last 4 BCSNC's our last BCSNC was 6 years ago. Next if you read the entire post it states very clearly "Les gets a mulligan this year, he has earned it from last years performance." But you don't get a mulligan every year. And when you are getting paid the 4th highest pay in your profession "news flash for you" expectations come with the pay. I don't want to hear "10 juniors left for the NFL next year" which you can bet that is what it will be.

Expectations are you should be playing in the SEC Championship game every other year and at worst 1 out of every 3 years especially with our talent. So let's see if he does that. We missed this year let's see what happens in 2013.
