He will not be fired. At this point I fully expect Currie to come out and say Lyle is getting an extension to try to ease the recruiting hemorrhaging and give some ba excuses that sound like Lyle talking. Itll be some crap about a random bad year, unexpected and never before seen circumstances. How if it werent for these horribly unlucky things Lyle would have gotten us to the playoffs and a NT and that he fully supports Lyle, his system and his whole staff.
If Currie is forced to fire Lyle then expect it not to happen til mid December and then excuses about Christmas break and New Years hindering the hiring process and then once all the top coaches are taken he will roll out something in line with Jones/Dooley and how they are high character, do things the right way, and how their barely above .500 record is amazing cause it happened at craptastic u and that they were barely below .500 when they got there.
