There’s a line, but nobody knows where it is. It’s like indecency. You can’t define it but you know it when you see it. We are a long way from that line, IMO. Tad retires long before we get there.

I don't disagree with the assertions that Tad shouldn't be fired, but basing it on a standard that is arguably worse than any other P5 program is the lowest of bars to clear.
This is the biggest drop from one year to the next that I've seen in my 4+ decades watching CU hoops. That doesn't leave me with much optimism that he's cut out for this era in CBB, which has evolved completely in less than 5 years. I don't know what's happening behind the scenes but he's clearly not kept up with recent changes in recruiting. Based on his depressing comments in the recent post-games, I don't see much changing by next year.
The other things I've noticed recently from his comments after losses is that he really doesn't have solutions to the problems we're seeing. We turn the ball over to much, we get beat on the offensive boards, and we don't have more than one guy who can make something happen off the dribble (Hammond). So as I'm listening, he's pointing out things that are pretty obvious for any average fan like me to see, but he's not offering solutions. To me, that means he's got guys that he recruited that seem to be doing what he's telling them, and we're still 0-9 in conference. That is not the sign of a program that is going anywhere.
It's a tough business and Tad has been 100% a gentleman, a purely classy guy, but if he doesn't have answers then clearly a change is needed.. The program is much bigger than any one coach or player.

thinking about the bolded, I went back to look at how he fared over the years in finishing over .500 in conference
not counting this year, 8-3-1, if my tally is correct. that's pretty good.
And in the non-conference, generally a pretty challenging slate. Not this year's slate outside of Maui of course. Prior to your time of fandom, the non-conference schedule was generally dreadful and inflated the records of some mediocre to lousy teams. Kind of like this year's team.
