the problem is in basketball you lose most of your team after a coaching change, but it is what it is in the minor leagues. If he gets a big time offer he has to take it, you move up when you are the hot name. No guarantee he has those options again. I have always said it is better to have a coach leave for a better job, than having to fire a coach. USF should absolutely make a run at offering an extension with a raise. Kelly should have already made that offer, increase his pay but also increase the buyout. He may or may not take it. Now if we really have a shot at Knox and he signs here, that may be enough to keep Coach around another year.
Regardless of what happens, I enjoyed this season and will hate to see him go, I was 100% wrong on him being a terrible hire.
