That's on you for severely underestimating the chaotic mess that is our football program.
Look at the fun situation we cooked up now:
1. By losing today, Blake failed to achieve the required number of wins per year (8) to earn an automatic 1 year contract extension. His contract currently expires at the conclusion of the 2020 football season.
2. There's currently a battle in our fan base between people who are satisfied with 7 wins a year and bowl games, and who feel that BLake should stay as long as he wants, and those that expect to be able to challenge App at the top of the league and at minimum win the West most of the time. Last night we had another verbal spat between players and fans on Twitter that led to a lot of deleted "we don't need fans anyway" tweets.
3. In the best case scenario, Anderson remains extremely unpopular among large portions of our fan base. It is extremely difficult right now for Mohajir to offer a contract extension to a coach this unpopular. It might force a lot of the heat to shift onto Terry and his 450K a year salary.
4. Likewise, you can't fire a coach whose wife just died of cancer, not without destroying any PR you have.
5. Likewise as well, you can't really knowingly send a football coach into a lame duck season next year with no contract guarantee, and facing a very difficult schedule, not without killing any chance of those coaches to recruit.
And none of this mentions the lasting damage losing yesterday will do to bowl ticket sales, and season ticket sales for next year. While also trying hard to continue to sell the premium donor seats that people are giving up left and right for free.
So what on earth do you do?
