I think he's here next year even with 3 losses. 2 in the sec and the Wisconsin.

I just don't think so. I think a 3rd loss is the nail in the coffin. Its going to come down to the TAF folks. The group that wanted him out will obviously feel the same way, and I just cant see the rest of the bunch fighting too much over 9-3 while losing a lot of talent to the NFL.

10-2 makes it close and I think he stays. Anything less and hes gone IMO.

I'm with you 100% KC TIGER. My feelings exactly.
I pray for the players and their mental & physical wellbeing during these challenging times.

It is all about how he plays it. If we lose to Bama and run a vanilla offense the rest of the season and barely win the rest of our SEC games, he is out. Lose to Bama but radically change our offense, maybe he stays. I think the powers that be want him gone right now. They obviously can't fire him if he wins out but that doesn't look feasible right now.

I honestly don't think that's the situation. I think its all going to come down to number of losses. I really cant see a scenario where we lose two more and they keep him.

10-2 means they go 7-1 in conference and I really think that saves him. Obviously if they run the table there is no way they fire him. Now does he retire in any scenario?? Yes I think that may be the more likely scenario. Hes got 2 boys in college, May is old enough to understand whats going on, I think he may retire after this year regardless of what happens.

Unless things get really bad (like losing to both MSU and the barn), I cant see him getting fired midseason.

It's not that simple IMO. EVERYONE is tired of the offense that Les is trying to run. When it works, it looks beautiful and it's fun to see us run all over people, but when it doesn't it is infuriating to watch a team with this much talent go 3 and out time after time. I would be OK losing another game or two, as long as we are playing to WIN games instead of trying not to lose. Unless we win out and go to a playoff game, this will be his last season.
