you can either let the program slip away, or try and correct it.

also, you're looking at it wrong. The circumstances in replacing Miles SHOULD NOT be a factor. In the end, you are looking for a new coach; bottom line

The same way a team is if they are moving on from a coach with a bad winning percentage. With that being said, let's look at a few other P5 schools that have gotten it right recently.

Ohio St -Urban Meyer
Notre Dam- Brian Kelley
Florida State- Jimbo.
UCLA- Jim Mora Jr
OK St- Mike Gundy
UNC- Larry Fedora
Baylor- Art Briles
Clemson- Dabo
Stanford- David Shaw
Mich- Harbaugh

and shite, just look at the SEC west

It boils down to good hires and bad hires. Not winning percentages of previous coaches. That has no bearing on who you hire. You either make a good decision or you dont.

I'm not using this as a defense of Miles. My point is that people need to abandon this thought that any idiot will step in and at least replicate Miles' results. I'm not proposing Miles stay on board, and I said as much in my OP.

There has never been a program in history who has forced out a coach as successful as Miles and found even greater success with his replacement. That shouldn't be ignored IMO.
