I'm not saying Miles and Cameron don't deserve to be fired. Les has greatly under-achieved his recruiting. Cam Cameron has been abysmal developing QBs. And the clock management on that last drive looked like pee-wee league.

But what do they gain by doing it now? They throw in the towel on the season, trash any hope of a dignified ending (I know, I know...dignity is in short supply in Baton Rouge on the best days), trash the seniors' season and Fournette's swan song, and for what?

Firing Miles and Cameron now would be a childish temper tantrum in response to a disappointing loss. Yeah, it might feel good in the moment, but the next 60-90 days are really gonna be difficult, and you have no idea what's on the other end of it.

Wait until the week of the last regular-season game, announce that there will be a change at the end of the season, and give it at least some semblance of consideration and order.
I agree totally, its not like this move is going to save recruiting for them as well. They would have had a better chance at keeping a decent class if they waited towards the end of the season. I'm still thinking they already got who they want lined up though. BUT if they can't announce it now ... whats the point?

Dang...Les is good to have around....what other SEC school would be the best fit for him if he could land anywhere?
MSU maybe? TAM? AU?

I don't know whether to call Coach O "Boom" or "Yaw Yaw." This will be interesting.

Dumpster Fire!!! They should have fired him last year but did not have the guts to do their job.

My guess is Orgeron will be able to fire up the team and get them to play at a higher level. Would have rather seen them tank a whole season with Miles and Cameron at the helm.

Another coach processed. Who thought in 2007 that Nick Saban would be at Alabama longer than any other SEC coach at their schools?

Had they lost, would these two men have been fired? I assume not... so their decision to fire their head coach came down to the decisions and actions of the in-the-stadium clock operator and the folks in Instant Replay HQ in Birmingham. Wow.
