Here’s a thought or two. If you’ve got the money, pull the trigger, and make a respectable hire then a new coach is likely to get 3 seasons to prove themselves. 2017, 2018, 2019. This assumes Yow goes full term. If she retires end of June 2019, I have a hard time imaging new AD won’t let coach have a 3rd season. We have a history of cutting coaches not getting it done in 3, but if they are having an 8+ win season I have a hard time seeing a new AD cutting bait with what would be a successful coach based on our history. So the decision is basically do it now and give a new coach a chance or you get awkward with just 2 years to sell a new coach if you wait a year. If you believe we’ve got a good base of talent in house. Then if you make a good hire now, perhaps you get a recruiting bump. May lose some with regime change, but if the perception is you’ve gotten better coach then I’m sticking around hoping for better days. Obviously we’ve lost several games we could have won this year which may be an indicator that we aren’t far away. That becomes the key question – is it just bad luck, players not knowing how to win, or coaches missing the key ingredient that separates us from an 8+ win season, top 25, and top tier ACC presence.
