Message: [QUOTE="blue93, post: 2598555, member: 6243"] I suspect that a big part of the decision could be based on how many players would transfer out if KO is here for another year. AD Dave did a program-wide evaluation last year and I suspect he'll do the same this year. The way I see it, with all of the uncertainty behind the NCAA investigations, now is a terrible time to be looking for a new head coach because A) there could be more openings than normal and B) it's impossible to know if the new coach you hire will be linked to a past scandal after a deal is done. So with all of that said, if it seems like the majority of the current group of guys will come back if KO is retained, I'd understand keeping KO - we'd save money on the buyout and let the dust settle around the NCAA so that we can be confident in the next hire if we aren't vastly improved next year. If KO being retained would cause another mass exodus, then there's really nothing to gain by keeping him another year because we can't keep starting over - KO would absolutely have to go. [/QUOTE]
