Now it is being reported that he did NOT say this was his last game, he only told them thanks for everything IN CASE this is my last game.

Makes sense, but he doesn't say that unless he knows that his days are numbered.

110-32 as a coach in the SEC West and a tentative #1 recruiting class in hand. Foolish.

Cecil Hurt and others are not buying this "report" on Twitter.
Even so the ppl pushing this as "sources" are going to ruin recruiting for them. The AD isn't helping by not making a statement. Whole thing is a mess.

The only thing that makes any sense at all is if LSU already has an agreement from Jimbo Fisher.

He's the only realistic target I can think of who might, maybe, kinda sorta be an upgrade. And even that's highly debatable.

If they don't have an agreement from somebody really strong, running Miles is beyond stupid.

I really think they're going to regret this.

Seems like these things are always a mess. I don't understand the dismay of some of you regarding "treatment" and "handling" of the situation. Of course it will be ugly and people will say and do regrettable things, but if things were going well it wouldn't be ending.

I like Les Miles as much as anybody, but he's not getting it done. He's paid among the highest in the country and that comes with expectations (reasonable or not).

No need to leak all this 2 weeks before the season is over. Make a change after the season is done. JMO.

That would be ideal. However, you can't trust people with juiciest bit of gossip that they'll have in their lives. It is human nature. In the end, I don't think it really matters.

Mark May offers a spirited defense of Miles..."you boosters who want a coach to come in and beat Nick Saban...get in line!"

Happy we did not fire a certain coach at year 10. Not saying he is that coach, but I am a believer in mid life crises and 2nd wind. 7th and 8th in the league 2 years

To me that is indicative of leadership in disarray. We've got our big money boosters too and I don't remember this happening with our coaching transitions. Of course, some were pre-Internet age.

USCw is my bet about him.
Totally agree that SC needs an experienced offensive minded coach of the HUNH mindset over defense minded power football. They can't get the players to compete with Florida, Tenn and Georgia playing smash mouthed football....imo.

In the last nine years, ONE football coach has THREE victories against Nick Saban.

His name is Les Miles.

the other guys with two are Urban Meyer and Hugh Freeze. (Spurrier beat Saban twice but once was way back at Florida).

OreBama said he predicts Chip Kelly to go to USC (west) not South Carolina.
