The NCAA title will buy him time but he's losing his coordinators and now this. That's a large chuck of talent gone and in the SEC it is tough to overcome that. I give him 2 years, 3 tops.
His class currently is ranked at 6th in the SEC. I think he needs top 3 classes year in and year out to win there. Not a good enough coach. Plus he won't have the numbers. He only has 15 commits right now
They'll probably get him to "resign" so they don't have to fire a NC winning coach. They can give him pretty good parachute, he will work at ESPN for a year or two and then take a HC position at another BCS school.

He may work at ESPN for a year or two, but I highly doubt any AD at a BCS school is going to give him a gig after 2 fails as a head coach. People are smart enough to realize that the only reason he won the NC was the $180k investment and the terrific OC. Both are gone and my guess is the "recruiting fund" has dried up since the investigation into Newton, so I doubt he pulls in any season makers like him again.
