re: Why do you want to fire Les, because I don't get it.

I'll take this one.

Look, Gator... this is the deal. We are not being competitive in our own division anymore.

This isn't about winning. Les has won plenty of games.

This is about losing. He's losing to too many of our biggest opponents, and these people are in our own division. We are trending down right now in the SEC West, and it's time to make a change.

It's not that we don't love or appreciate Miles. We do. He's a wonderful man and we are proud of what he has done here.

But a lot of times people are sent packing from jobs because of what they haven't done lately, or because times have changed. Most people don't get the benefit of a $15 million parachute. Miles does. No one is walking away from this (predicted) event hurt. All parties might not get exactly what they want, but they will all certainly get something they need.
