re: How will Miles' firing play out next year?

How do you do that? Les will win 9-10 games, lose to the now big 3 in the West. People will still look at that winning pct., the Natty in the rear view mirror, and all the endearing quirkiness that he brings to the table. He will still have 3 more years left on his contract, a fairly solid class coming in. Same ol' same ol'. I don't see any way out short of convincing him to retire for health reasons. People just love a clown.

Lay out your expectations in no uncertain terms right now, establish a timetable for him to get it done, and he doesn't meet those requirements you are good. It's the same way it's done in every business, and that's what everyone is calling it, a business decision, so be business like.
