Props to O. He is realistic and knows how corrupt this conference is.

what are you talking about? you think there was some lie that got Miles fired? He got fired for a few reasons but none of those were about lying. We were losing with regularity to SEC opponents (12-10 in SEC play in the last 22 SEC games) and started the season 2-2 after having a 8-5 season just a couple seasons back, but with no plan to improve. He just kept the same Offense Coordinator with the same offense with no apparent desire to change from that outdated crap philosophy. Nothing was changing so it was time for a change.

Same thing could happen to Coach O (or any other coach we would have hired) but you don't fire a coach who went 9-4 in his first full season (and finished strongly after a bad start) and is currently 7-2.

yes and he has proven it over 2 stints at 2 different p5 programs. If Aranda hit the market there would be dozens of programs wanting him.

I thought you were all about stats? Stats don't matter now?

"We are going to open up the offense."

"The offense needs an overhaul."

I never once said that he should be.

but he didn't get fired because he lied about it (if that is what you call it, he probably believed it when he said it though.) He got fired because he not only didn't do it, he never even attempted to do it. He kept the same OC and who kept running the same ole script. Looked like nothing was going to change.


I guarantee you that if the offense we have right now doesn't change or get better, Coach O will be out the door as well. He will be the one who decides (as it was with Miles) whether to keep Ensminger or move on, and the results will rest on Coach O's shoulders. We aren't going to win shite next season with a shite offense.

To me the best case scenario is that this offense lights it up the last three games (fat chance of that) and we go into next season with Ensminger with whom the offense also lights it up and the team goes on to great things under coach O. Is that likely to happen? maybe, but probably not.

worst case is that Coach O keeps Ensminger, or gets rid of Ensminger, and the offense tanks and the season is shite and Coach O gets fired. Thus starting the process all over again at point zero. (edit: actually this might not be the WORST CASE scenario, still it is not a good one)

then there are a lot of in between scenerios.

“ got Miles fired”

Miles was fired because he hadn’t won the west since 2011, he had beaten Alabama since 2011, in his offense was not as productive as anybody wanted.

Almost 3 years later, and we still haven’t done any of those things. In fact, both the offense and how competitive we are with Bama has regressed.

We got rid of Miles bc the powers that be felt 2nd best wasn't good enough and we needed to win NC's. He says that? Well, coach, that may be your problem.

I would like to think that too. But, unfortunately we aren't the only ones that have stuffed our bellies with that grease. They care about our wallets, not our opinions.
