You're not doing a good job selling anyone on a 4th year for Kennedy.
For perspective, even Tony Barone made the NIT...in his third year.
How about instead of comparing Kennedy to Gillispie and Turgeon (coaches who succeeded), let's compare him to one who failed.
Year 1: Advantage Kennedy
Tony Barone: 6-22 (2-12)
Billy Kennedy: 14-18 (4-14)
Year 2: Advantage Kennedy
Tony Barone: 10-17 (5-9)
Billy Kennedy: 18-15 (7-11)
Year 3: Advantage Barone
Tony Barone: 19-11 (10-4)
Billy Kennedy: 12-7 (3-3) so far
Tony Barone made the NIT in year 3, and then the team steadily got worse over the next 4 years. Both improved by 4 wins overall and 3 conference wins in year 2.

Oh, and just so we're clear, right now, the average attendance right now (5,100 in a 12,500 seat arena) is worse than the final three years of Melvin Watkins (6,100, 6,400, 6,100).
There's been a decrease in attendance of 15% between 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 (7,100 to 6,300) and a decrease in attendance of 19% between 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 (6,300 to 5,100). When you factor in that attendance was in the average of 9,000/game in 2010-2011, the extrapolation is that attendance numbers have dropped 43.3% since Kennedy took over.
