Here's the rub though. IMO, a season like this one reignites that fire. So, rather than run a really successful coach off, that seemingly loves this program, I'd rather sit through the occasional stinker of a season than try and find a new coach that may could be better than the winningest coach we've ever had.
I would prefer 10X over that Les "reignite" than go through a coaching change. And I agree with the earlier post by "Ron Swanson" that Les just doesn't seem like the same coach from his earlier days.
But here's why I don't see a "reignition event" happening:
a) If Les needed one for this season he should have come away from the State game on fire. He didn't. Instead, we were treated to a replay. Gettting his butt kicked by Mullen had zero effect.
b) If Les needed it for his career at LSU why didn't the last two season do it? We had all this NFL talent and we get to the Chick-fil-A and the Outback bowls. No championships. NO BCS bowls. Were those "success"?

Trust me, I get this. Honestly, I think Miles' stubborness to stay the course resulted from his thinking that the Miss. State game was an anolamy and not an indictment of his overall coaching philosophy.
Same thing with the past two seasons. Especially considering how close we were to getting back to championship contention if Yeldon doesn't take that screen pass to the endzone.
Being really close to the top but not quite there doesn't make you step back and examine yourself as much as a catastrophic season does.
Maybe, just maybe, the loss to Auburn will open his eyes to the folly of staying the course that has got him to this point. But I don't have a lot of confidence in that.
