Absent conduct issues, even of their performance deserves it.
1. Coaching community is fairly tight nit and it sends the wrong message. Yes I know people will claim it shows we care about BB and are getting serious. But that is not how it is viewed by coaches. They view it as not letting a coach go with dignity and at a time in the calendar when they can immediately look for work. Also, viewed as cutting short the period they are being evaluated over.
2. Screwing with the players/students. They came here to play for a University and a coach. You may not think that they are best players and need to leave but you are still screwing with them unnecessarily
3. Players are placed in limbo for a much longer period of time versus firing and quickly hiring in March. This is important as other school will chirp away at you best players for many months, versus hopefully weeks if a quick hire is made. The longer the limbo period the more likely you lose your best players
4. Interim assistant head coaches don't typically make the team all of a sudden significantly better. It is likely status quo. It happens, but that is usually on teams with significantly greater talent than we have. Oh, and if Steve Shields was given the job and won 5 or 6 games, you might get him as your permanent coach.
Back to work for me. Have a good day and let's keep upping that guarenteed salary for our new coach
