With all due respect, perhaps it is because your question is irrelevant for two reasons.

First and foremost, Fran isn't getting fired. 10 wins and a good QB who gets injured is the mother of all get out of jail free cards. Not to say that there aren't problems within the program, but the issue isn't "who else can we get?" but "how does Fran fix this thing?"

Second, you are thinking like a fan instead of an executive, or in this case an AD. In times of poor performance, the question is NEVER "who can we get that is better?" The question ALWAYS is "does this guy's performance merit him still being employed and being paid what we are paying him? Is he meeting the expectations we have for the program?"

Any AD worth his salt is confident enough in his own abilities to think that he can hire somebody to effectively replace a guy who no longer deserves to be employed. Hopefully, Fran is that guy but even if he is not in the long-term, it didn't mean that Dino deserved to be retained. That was the bigger picture.

Again, that is a topic for another day because Fran has at least next year (if not longer) to right the ship. I'm far more concerned with the steps he will take to make that happen than I am about totally hypothetical replacements.
