They certainly have the money to do it.I'd open the bank vault for Les Miles. If he turned me down, I'd close the vault and hire a Shula type to get us through probation and then look for a real coach later.

I'm pretty sure that everybody in the SEC needs to accept that fact until Saban retires. Sure, teams will snipe us every now and then, but downgrade of coaching talent in the SEC, outside of Saban, right now is laughable. With the exception of Mississippi State and Ole Miss (until this week) nobody's current coach is an upgrade over who they had in 2007 and they've all gone down as they have chased Saban.If you hire les miles then you are accepting that you lose to Alabama every year.
Would you rather deal through a tough 6 years with Les or a tough 6 years with what they got or worse?If you hire les miles then you are accepting that you lose to Alabama every year.
This is also very true. However, there were quite a few who threw around the word genius and even suggested that they hoped Kiffin would take Saban's place. Like you, I despised the hire, but I also tried not to mention it. Sometimes, however, I just couldn't contain the negative thoughts, so you did much better than I did in that respect. I will say now, though, that I am glad he will not be on our sideline.I can't speak for other people but I can speak for me. I could not stand Lane Kiffin. But when Alabama hired him what was I to do? I will not bad mouth an active coach (not talking about being critical of plays). Also on this site people would be banned (and rightly so) for dissing a coach all the time. So I bit my tongue and crossed my fingers for the best. When he took the FAU job I celebrated.
I felt the same about Sark.
Just because I did not harp and carp on Kiffin all the time DID MEAN I LOVED THE GUY just because he was wearing Crimson and White. Not badmouthing Lane Kiffin for three years is not the same as liking Lane Kiffin.
And Kiffin.From a character standpoint, if that still means anything, Miles is light years ahead of Freeze, Nutt and Orgeron.
I don't think Shula will be interested. He said the only reason that he went to BAMA was because Momma Called.I doubt it happens unless he sets positive records at FAU this year. Also consider some of the infractions involve his brother.
As much as I've thought Ole Miss was probably going to weasel their way out of some major punishments I think losing the head of the snake has brought them back down to reality and they will probably be more complient. Bringing Kiffin on almost assures that the NCAA will be on campus every day.
Fwiw. Don't be surprised if Mike Shula or other former SEC good boy coaches names are dropped for the job. I really don't think this interim will last because I have a feeling the house will be cleaned.
College football is way too tough for Shula.I don't think Shula will be interested. He said the only reason that he went to BAMA was because Momma Called.
