People wanting Pearl fired after year 1 only want it because Bruce got his son hired (this is the fairness crowd, some weirdos) and they hate this.
To expound further this crowd believes Auburn could assemble a list of 20 strong candidates and vet and interview them. Even if they went 0-20 they could still fall-back on Steven as the bottom tier safety net.
Instead we hired him right away because I just really love Bruce. I remember where we were and I am just in the moment right now. VIBING!!!Let's do it!! 5 year deal!

If you knew Rick Pitino would come if we called him, would you still be in favor of keeping Steven on for another year?
I'm in favor of giving him another year, but if I knew Pitino would say yes, Steven would be gone.

Sorry but we're well beyond the what ifs and dealing with the this years remains.
So how do we buy our way to a better season while staying within budget ?. W.E. can't replace coaches in carousel fashion, maintain facilities, and upgrade a roster all at the same time. Unless perhaps one of us strike it rich writing fiction and endow the poor. Because this movie is more like Rudy than Hoosiers.
So to me it's a new head coach or buy a team of new all-stars.... because it's highly unlikely basketball can afford both.

Buyout will cost much less than the cost to flip the roster.
Cannot forget the suck tax.

Accepting the NIT bid isn’t a good sign for the wanting Pearl fires crowd (myself included).
