To be clear, I agree with all of this. Just don't think our AD/Pres will be able to pull the trigger now for those reasons.
We might have been better off if he had stumbled out of the gate. I think it takes at least another full year after this one to replace him.
Worst case scenario ... we finish this year 8-3 or 7-4, make the playoffs and lose a close playoff game in the semifinals.
Rinse and repeat, or make Frisco and lose there, and this whole thing could drag out a while.
Becoming slowly more mediocre could be a worse fate than just bombing out.
