My biggest question is who's the party pushing for a change? Is it the administration? The AD? A few key big-money boosters? The rank-and-file members of the fanbase?

Whoever is responsible for trying to push Miles out the door, I've haven't seen a more deranged and ungrateful bunch of lunatics than the buffoons in Boston who wanted Theo Epstein and Terry Francona replaced.

I think Les Miles biggest problem is Nick Saben. The success of Saban irritates them and Miles lack of success against him is what the main driving force behind the change. They want someone who they perceive can go toe to toe with saben

If that's true, then they're being foolish because Saban's success at Alabama is a standard NOBODY can meet--not even an excellent program like LSU.

The more appropriate comparison for Miles would be not to what Saban has done at Alabama, but rather what Nick did in Baton Rouge. In that respect, Les actually has been better.

Seriously, that's exactly it - being dominated by Alabama for too long (which who hasn't in the SEC in recent years). Too bad for Miles, but if he still wants to coach, somebody will get a great leader.

I bet Les already has got another job. Why else would you say you're not coachin the bowl game?

IE you got another job (perhaps in Austin) and you want to get a jump on recruiting.

My take is after Baylor beats Texas next week, the Longhorns are 4-8 & Strong gets out and heads to the "U". Texas may go after Myles.

Of course it could be "Ahh f$&@ it, give me my $12,000,000 and I'm retired now!"

Who knows? Never have sympathy for a getting Million$ to quit work.

One could literally look at his recruiting success alone and realize whomever wants him out is insane...never mind the NC....

No kidding. We talk about maintaining continuity here to protect recruiting classes in the 30s and they're ready to toss out a class near the top.
