I get ya. The results haven't been great. But that doesn't necessarily mean the program was in bad shape. If administration feels the foundation of the program is solid but needs a slightly different direction, I could see an internal hire being an easy decision. At a school that clearly values academics over football, the opportunity to keep a large portion of staff member in tact, not have to worry about "creating positions", and allow some sort of continuity for the players seems like a choice this administration might make. I don't think an internal hire would do WORSE. I don't know. Guess we will see
