Understood.
But my point is that they should have just [s]fired[/s] parted ways after 2020 and taken the $10MM hit. The PR machine has tried to polish this turd on the reup by talking about how "financially favorable" the new deal is to the school, while clearly sidestepping the larger issue that a turd in a headset is still your HC. So you now have the 9th (or whatever) highest-paid coach in the B1G. Congratulations, I guess?
It's obvious that the entire school (and at least some of the fanbase) is in a state of paralysis over Golden Boy failing to outperform the mediocrities they'd been employing to coach the team, and they don't quite know how to move on from this.
To be clear, I'm in favor of them sucking forever. I just find their management of the situation to be incredibly puzzling, particularly given Jimmy's recent Colonel Kurtz turn.
