My main connection to the ptb believes that they are trying everything possible to not have to fire him... Anything acceptable and checking the temps of fans, donors, BOT etc.

I'm also hearing the same, but that means they know it's basically a foregone conclusion that he's gone unless they find something to hang onto.

Wins against WKU and MSU or Mizzou would certainly match that criteria, but it's hard to see that happening. Without that they won't find that reason they're looking for to keep him.

I've also heard that there's work going on to soften the blow of the buyouts as much as possible, either through legal means or donations. Even if that doesn't happen they're considering it a necessary evil as they're already seeing the bottom line take a hit and feel a lot of pressure to fill the expanded stadium.

In fact, the stadium expansion may be the one thing that pushes it over the edge, while most people think the opposite (in the sense that we spent a ton of money and don't want to put the buyout on top of it).

Unlike the past situations, there's not a lot of infighting amongst the BOT and influential donors concerning removing Morris. Most everyone is on board, while the few "holdouts" agree he has to go but worry about the financials.

Of course, that's all within our current situation. If we beat WKU and get an SEC win he'll get another year.
