re: Why was Les so pissed at halftime interview?

He needs to go, but canning him now might have have far more negative consequences. It probably would have no positive effects on the season and would disrupt the present coaching staff in mid-season. The correct thing would be for the administration to already be making contacts with the top contenders' agents and to reach out to Miles to work out a possible retirement strategy to save face with everybody. That way, he can quietly leave after the season with respect, and the admins can hopefully have plenty of time to secure their coach without having to go through a messy termination. But with the yahoos running this show, that might be possible.
