    Indeed, and I agree with you. Just don't think we're at Dinardo levels, which is what OP implied. Nor do I think we are headed that way under Miles.

    Of course we vastly underperformed this year. I didn't in my wildest dreams think we'd lose 5 games, but this is still light years better than 1999, considering the crystal and recruiting classes Les has brought to this school. As disappointing as this season has been, I think we are still in great shape as a program.

    Did OU not go 7-6 two years ago? Did Bama not go 6-6 last year? Where are they now? We'll be back, don't worry.

    I know we'll be back, but the last time a lot of us were this disappointed was back in '99 when we knew we had to get new coaches and there was nowhere to go but up.

    Miles > Dinardo, but Tepper = Peveto and Mallory.

    first time we have had a sub .500 record since 99. I never said Les Miles was at Dinardo level.

    If Miles hasn't fired Mallory and Peveto by the end of next week, he will be coaching somewhere else in 2010.

    :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    The record right now is 7-5, right? Even if we lose the bowl game, we'll be 7-6, right? Both of those are above .500, right?

    Or am I missing something?

    Think we are talking about the SEC record here.

    I think he's not counting the 4 squash wins
