I think it all kind of depends on how LSU's offense looks this year. If they continue to look like shite on that side of the ball, lose 2 or 3 regular season games, and watch Bama or aTm play in the SECCG, I think Les' days may be numbered. If they look competent, win the West, and possibly play for a NC, he obviously buys himself a lot of good will and time.
The only two things that I see getting Richt fired by UGA are being caught Petrinoing a coed or a couple of back to back losing seasons.

Probably Miles.
Not that he's necessarily better coach, but he has more talent and for some reason, LSU fans are not as pissed about 8-9 win seasons as UGA fans are. Maybe b/c they have won a national championship so recently.

So you're saying his days are numbered.....

You could not be more wrong. LSU is one of the most lenient schools in the SEC when it comes to football coaches. LSU has never fired a football coach that didn't have at least two LOSING seasons in a row, or losing records in at least half his seasons. Compare that to Auburn (Bowden), Alabama (Shula), Georgia (Donnan), Ole Miss (Cutcliffe), Tennessee (Fulmer), Florida (Zook), etc. Charles McClendon stayed on for 18 fricking years losing 2 or 3 games a year and watching Bama win SEC and national titles while he managed only one SEC title. And, for good measure, Mac even threw in a 1-6-1 record against then arch-rival Ole Miss through his first eight years. Miles could have exactly the season you describe above every year for the rest of his career and he would NEVER be fired.
