I would be excited too if I was him with the cupcake schedule he has. To many NAIA and non d1 home games… he should be undefeated in non conference at home or hang up his basketball shoes.

We don’t have any money to do anything with him. He won’t get an extension though.

I don’t know too many people making half a million dollars a year being eager to hang up their shoes . . .

I think the admin will force him out as soon as it won't cost. So yes but no
