Les Miles was fired last night. LSU’s coach with the second most wins in their program’s history is gone. The Tigers only lost 34 games from 2005 to 2016 while under Les Miles, but a stagnant offense and archaic schemes cost Miles in recent years. LSU made the right move to fire their head coach as the program was regressing. But that doesn’t mean that schools and fans all over the nation will come calling.
Enter the Dan Mullen hot seat weirdness. It’s hard for anybody to dispute that Mullen is under pressure. An inability to crack the ceiling in the SEC West and a failure to beat Ole Miss in recent years has put a strain on the fanbase’s relationship with the guy that is arguably the greatest coach in Mississippi State history.
