re: We are a dead program until Napier is fired.

What would have been the upside to firing him after the season? The class would have been gutted if you fired him anyway. At least Lagway is in. He could always leave through portal if Napier is fired next year but at least you have a shot at retaining him now.

Let Napier sink with next year's schedule and give a new guy a better start with the 2025 schedule. If Napier somehow digs out of this hole, then great.
