We realize all of that, but Orgeron wasn't handed over the keys to the program to be as good as Miles was at his worst - he was given the job to get the program back to an elite level. Anything less and he is failing by both his own and the program's standards.

I think the truth is that we hired a coach that lowers people's expectations of the program. That's a dangerous game we're playing and if O doesn't jump out of the box and produce, we may find ourselves in a Tennessee-type of situation where our best days are found in yesteryear.

Despite all my misgivings, I think it is acceptable for Orgeron to get 10 wins as long as one of those wins is against Alabama.

Do you seriously see Ed O doing something Miles could not do.

Well.. That was the idea.. but in reality it's a little backwards.
Miles was fired in an attempt to return the program to elite status. Orgeron was hired because we didn't have a coach. Even though it won't be directly addressed, the expectations with Jimbo or Herman would have been much higher than they are with O.
In year one 9-3 with an improved offense is acceptable. If we're not winning 10+ games on a consistent basis starting next year then things will get interesting.
