re: Why Was Les Miles Fired In Mid-Season?

It's not my team but I see the move as being a good one.

Are there risks? Of course and you cannot mitigate all of them, but they made a good move. The recruiting class will have time to get over the change and either leave or stay.

They could still leave at the end of the season as well. No guarantee they stick because Les remains all year.

Obviously a bad chemistry developing and could completely poison the program. You have to make tough decisions. All the time. Did Alleva fubar this thing from the start? Yes but he made the right move.

I doubt Orgeron is the HC next year.
