Is there any way out for the Reds in the future? I can't see much of a future. But I couldn't believe it when I read this article!!

Queensland Reds Coach, Jeff Miller
Outgoing Reds coach Jeff Miller indicated he happy with the job he has done with the Queensland Super 14 outfit saying he has built a good base for the future.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones takes over as the new coach after this weekend and will join the Reds for the first time in Townville this week as the team prepares for its final Super 14 match of the year against the Highlanders.
Despite the Reds not achieving great success under the three years with Miller as coach he believed he has laid the foundations for a positive future under Jones.
"I can leave now reasonably happy that we built a good base for Eddie to build up," Miller told ABC Sport.
"We'll spend a fair bit of time with him over the next three days, just going through where we've taken the side this year, the things that we've tried to achieve, the progress of the players, and maybe a little bit of advice on how he moves forward, in terms of his playing personnel."
Jones, who guided the ACT Brumbies to a Super 12 ***le in 2001 before going on to coach Australia, will make his first job the retention of key players, a task made more difficult by the current state of huge offers for players from other Super 14 franchises and overseas teams.
