re: Top College Coaches With Poor Seasons Including Bad Losses

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.

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.
