To keep his multi million Dollar job is:
First play of the season: call a pass.

He does this he keeps his job. We don't decline like this. Limp along good enough; not like this

sorry, but he was not keeping his job. Right or wrong, he had completely lost the fan base and that wasn't going to change no matter what.

A little more than just the first play. But get over him. He was done. It simply took too long to realize and accept it. Jesus.

I think O is well on his way to losing a very large portion of the fan base if he hasn't already.

Les Miles has the best job in the world. He's paid to not do anything.

All he had to do was step back from the offense. He didn't even have to fire Cameron, just let him run the 2012-2013 offense

Who was gonna QB the 2013 offense?

Danny “Noodle Arm” etling or Brandon “Spray and Pray” Harris?

We also had 2 top end WRs.

Our #2 receiver was Russel gage...

No he hadn't. He had lost a portion of it, probably a large portion but not nearly completely lost it.

No, not really. Would have helped if it looked like the team that went to Green Bay had practiced the passing game at all, and completing a few more passes in that game would have helped that impression.

Note that I’m not putting all of that on the QB spot. The WRs had a bad game.

Edit: Also, if you’re planning to open your offense up, Cam Cameron isn’t the guy you want in the OC spot. But I don’t believe that was ever Miles’ intent.

Actually he lost his job or at least accelerated his departure by a less than 1 second clock management blunder vs Auburn. It was a strangely poetic end to his tenure.

FKing and JAlleva did not like Les Miles. Les Miles commanded too much power/respect/likability. He was a threat to their cushy positions.

Les owed nothing to either of them and he felt free to ignore them. And Les was much better liked, as you point out. This is what laid a fertile ground for someone like Orgeron to quietly undermine Les with the Pres., AD and BOS.
Les needed to go, but it left us with no leadership and no plan outside a mostly fictional binder.

no. Les already has more money than he, or his children, can ever spend. His buyout will give him more, but at this point it's just numbers in a bank statement.

He's a coach, and coaches want to coach, not sit in a rocking chair.

The firing was embarrassing enough, but the lack of interest about other coaching vacancies has to be pretty humiliating to Les.

So yea, he's cashing more checks, but I doubt he wants to be "doing nothing."
