Realistically if we got rid of Alleva this year and brought in Herb or the guy at A&M that is from here that would be considered a win.

Then with any luck Les gets a coaching job somewhere, and after next season O's buyout drops to like 6 million (remember it's pro rated based on what has been paid already that calendar year). Then you let your new AD pick his coach and you keep at least some semblance on continuity without completely destroying your budget.

This is the most realistic timeline. I'd say Alleva gets canned after the A&M game after seeing the last 3 SEC home games less than half filled at halftime. New AD a few months later. Coach O gets to 2018, starts off with a loss to the U putting him on the hot seat yet again, followed by an embarrassing loss to Auburn to open the SEC 0-1 again. Dave Aranda is made the interim and we hire PJ fleck at the end of the season.
