One reason underperforming coaches used to keep their jobs is the fear of losing players and recruits. In Stackhouse’s case, what would we actually lose? We could go out and get someone who knows how to create a game plan, someone who knows how to motivate a team, someone who knows how to run a program… and then hit the transfer portal hard. We can theoretically field a winning team in year 1. We can’t get any worse. It may be a team that looks dramatically different than this one, but would that be so bad?
