There is no denying Butch Jones restocked the program from all time lows. However, this is as far as Butch will take you. From his days at Cincinnati, he is known to blow a game or two each season on his blunders. (I went to UC during Brian Kelly's time and followed Butch's progress)
Les Miles just got fired. No buyout associated. He was a good QB away from competing with Saban every year. Built a great program at LSU. His downfall was inability to evolve in offense. Seems like he is assembling a new team and also studying spread offenses. I think if we want to upgrade, this is a good time to go and get him. If not us, someone else will pick him up soon. Too good of a coach to be sitting at home. He is 63. Still can give us 4-5 good years.
This is not a knee jerk reaction. Even if we were sitting at 10-2 and headed to SEC CG, I would advocate getting Les Miles. If nothing else, he will be hands down best coach in the east.
