Was discussing it the other day, players have been loose on twitter and social media more than they ever have. Granted it is a bigger part of society than it has ever been but its still out there. It isn't that too far out of reality for them to not believe anything they hear from the staff these days.
Collectively, it would have to be a collapse of Miami proportions to burn the extra $6M and find a viable replacement on short notice. I think at least one more year is the most likely scenario. If Alkeva is dumb enough to give him an extension, however, all bets are off.
So let's say double digit losses in all 3 games where the team looks like shit? Because that's what the last 2 have been.
That's probably the most likely scenario, but I don't think we qualify as short notice at this point in the season. When Saban left, THAT was short notice.
But that's basically the scenario we're talking about, a skid that continues through the bowl game and ends up getting him fired. Alleva would have to drop the ax immediately after A&M for a little bit of breathing room on a search.
The search may have started last year. If not, it could have started after arky, or today. We aren't short notice yet.
Every AD keeps a list of coaches and their agents phone numbers in their desk. It's time to make some preliminary calls
Kevin Steele sucks. Has nothing to do with anything else. He was ran away from Alabama and Clemson for a reason. (Keep in mind that his defense at Clemson gave up 70 points in bowl game to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl). So Steele is the problem. He can't coach.
