The basketball team was on a downward slope at the end of the season and rallied to heights we'd never seen in that program before. With that notion in mind, if we do miraculously make a regional, how deep into the tourney would we have to make it for you to be ok with him coming back?
The difference is I don't think anyone was actually serious about Frank being fired if we hadn't gone on that run. At least not anyone I knew personally. Frank would've gotten a pass given how terrible we've been historically in basketball.
Even if the baseball team were to go on a miraculous deep run, Chad will still be a serious problem. I'd be wondering where that fire was during the regular season? Why were such horrible decisions made in the late innings of many games? Why has the morale of the team appeared so low? Fighting tooth and nail to even get into the post season is a major issue, especially given the talent we have.
If we were to get hot and make it to Omaha, I wouldn't necessarily credit Chad's coaching. It would most definitely ease the mind of Tanner to keep him on one more year, but I wouldn't feel any better about it.

Oh for sure. I wasn't implying that Frank was ever near the level of hot seatedness that Holbrook is at. I was trying to get a feel for if post season accomplishments would get him a pass on the regular season and if so what that would have to be.
According to Rooster and another poster from another site, the following steps have been taken.
Holbrooks extension that was supposed to go to 2019 has been reduced to 2018. They also cut his buyout by 50%. Basically that tells me that #1 if he doesn't get it done next season, he's out and #2 if they find someone they believe in before then the he may be out before then. Rooster said he'd definitely be back next season but if his contract expires then anyway IDK why a reduction of a buyout would have been necessary.

Frank Martin was dealt a steaming pile of dung and over the last few years has built a respectable overachieving program. You could see the incline over the last few seasons.
Holbrook inherited one of the best programs, if not THE best, in college baseball and has steadily gone downhill year by year with the exception of hosting the Super Regionals last year. IMO any decision to fire Holbrook isn't based on this year alone, regardless of what we do in the post-season.
