Step back from the ledge, folks.
One of two things will happen.
Either...
1) MacIntyre leaves for a new opportunity
Or...
2) MacIntyre enters a Brian Kelly offseason with a lot of changes mandated to try to fix the issues we saw this season
As
@Liver laid out, this is not a situation where you fire a coach. Can you imagine the noise from the Regents who got out-voted on the contract extension if they were asked to approve a $12M buyout 6 months later and then approve a bigger contract for a new coach? There won't be a single step taken down that path and there shouldn't be.
