re: Based on current expectation levels, would winning 9 games this year be...

I love these threads. Pure trash entertainment. If this was an accurate reflection of society (which it is not) and we applied it toward more earth shattering subject matter, someone would think the world would be better served if about 20 to 30 percent of the gene pool just disappeared all of a sudden.

This year is unique. Normally 9-3 would be at worst a minor disappointment. But all things considered and with what is at stake, who is returning and the events from last year 10-2 minimum as far as acceptability. One of those 10 being a win over Bama makes it easier to handle. This team has the capability of going 11-1 with some luck and minimal injuries.

Les is most probably gone at 9-3. But he was suppose to be gone last November. It's more about how two or three losses happen. Injuries and any officiating shenanigans when playing Bama or home cooking we run across at Jordan Hare, The Swamp, at Arky etc. may be factored in. If we get a repeat of this past November, I don't think CLM would keep his job. Then again money is involved and CLM has friends in special places. Does not matter whether it is out of politics or convenience or actual respect.

There are some important individuals who will grant him a long leash within the realm of reason in their humble opinions. Something the type A a hole rantards and Nega trash hate. But those powerful individuals have no respect (nor should they) for our special ed section and don't care for their money or support. That is unless you are top 100 TAF. And even then, some opinions are considered more important than others and there is mentality that certain money can be replaced by others:).
