was today the death knell for Miles and Richt?

Miles should keep his job but get a real OC and stay away from the offense.

Georgia hasn't won an SEC title in 10 years. I'd have a really hard time accepting that.

I know what you're saying, because we've made personnel changes over the years, but I can't believe it's been 17 years since we've won the SECCG. I'd love to say it's only been 10 years.

I'm going to pop in and say this:

I get if you're upset as a UGA fan re: Richt. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't have won a title by now or at least played in a title game, and he biffs it away every year. Unless I'm goofing on this, he's also been a bit too conservative in big moments. If you have to fire one of these two, sure, go with Richt. I don't entirely suggest it, but I'd get it.

Firing Les Miles would be one of the dumbest decisions made by a man in power in the last two decades.

I have read the donors have stated the buyout would not be an issue. They will not settle for mediocrity.

Maybe they look at UT hanging on to Fulmer a few year too long and see the disastrous outcome that brought. They may be looking at it as taking a big hit now or a much larger hit in years to come, with a few years of being a bottom dweller t by hanging on to a coach too long.

Looks like you're right and the boosters are putting their money where their mouth is since they just agreed to pony up the 15-20 million dollars for the buyout

If lsu fires miles and his staff it will eventually cost them 17 million and with all the job openings this year they'll probably have to over pay for the guy they want. With all that said I'd probably tell him to make some staff changes and give it another year

You'd have to think Pat Haden at USC would be so happy to see Myles available and to save his poor decision of hiring a drunk a few games into the season.

I think every school that doesn't finish 14-0 or win a national championship should fire their coach.

Miles buyout would be a bargain return off investment compared to Barbara Junior. Although as I type this think how different this would be if Doofus didnt lose to Les in his 13 men on field year. No longer would it just be But Butch lost to Doofus. LSU would be exonerated as horrible for lising to Doofus. Lol

You sound like a Bama fan:eek:lol:, really though, the days of sticking with coaches are long gone. Look at Tennessee this year, 3 of our 4 losses are to teams that have a shot at the playoffs (if Fla beats FSU and Bama they're in). We were ahead in the 4th quarter in all three games:banghead2:, I call that progress. Most people at the moment are complaining about this season though.

and UGA's coach has been there 15, tells you a lot about UGA especially if they keep the guy this year after Georgia State took them into overtime ... I hope they do keep Richt! As long as he's there they are out of the NC picture.

Richt has never been bad long enough for them to actually fire him. He's been on the hot seat many times.

That is part of what got Fulmer fired.

What got Fulmer fired was he became complacent. He started failing to recruit top classes.

Giving another year to either one of them won't help without developing a QB.

I am a tad shocked. Not so much in parting ways but the casualty of how LsU is doing it. Prwsumably they have their guy already figured out.

How good is Mark Richt??? 14 years at Georgia and 2 sec championships. During that time the east really only had 1 other good team for about 6 years, Vols were down and Florida was solid under Meyer. The talent Richt has had he should have around 5 sec championships and should have played for at least 1 NC. He's not a championship coach, he's an above average coach who does not make the most of the talent around him

I don't see why in all hell a coach of any caliber would want to come into this hornet's nest, where averaging 10 win seasons is considered a failure. This makes me wonder if the SEC isn't going to implode with the ridiculous expectations from the fans and/or boosters. Georgia has had horrible luck with key injuries and playing second fiddle to Florida. Yeah he's choked away some opportunities there is no doubt on that, but I am willing to bet real money that he is still better than 95% of the coaches out there

Then you have LSU. Yes, I actually agree that Miles is an overrated coach, and is not all that good. He is way too one dimensional, and a run heavy offense is pretty easy to stop in today's game. So, ok they fire him and the boosters pay his buyout, and they all go after Fisher. What improvement would Jimbo Fisher have at LSU over FSU? That makes no sense. He already has a straight line shot at the NC every single year, with his only hurdle being Clemson. So, he's going to leave that to come to LSU, whose recruiting base is a lateral move at best, while at the same time, adding about 3 or 4 more hurdles to that path? Outside of cashing in on stupid booster money that will mostly payed out in a stupid high buyout in three or four years with bridges burnt at your previous sweet gig, it absolutely does not make any sense at all.

I think with the new playoff system, more coaches are going to see that it is asinine to leave a gig where they have a real shot at a NC as long as they win their conference with no more than 1 loss, to go to a conference where most of the teams with any kind of history are going to expect you to win 11 games nearly every year. Yeah, Bama has had a ridiculous run that has been nothing short of amazing, but that was just the perfect storm that is almost impossible to recreate, especially when Saban is still at Alabama raking in all the top recruiting classes and all those wins.

Yeah their fans should shoot for the type of program where they start the season with national championship aspirations and end each season 6-6.
