There’s a company within the industry I work in that goes through all levels of management people roughly every three years.  It’s known to a point many external recruiters won’t work with them anymore, and anyone with skill knows going there is a potential career death sentence.  The result is they hire people that don’t have qualification for the job they take, or the awareness of what a bad decision it is - and the cycle repeats itself.

We’re trapped in a spot where becoming “that school” is a risk if we:
1) Fire a coach who had potential to get us to 7 wins, but we pulled the pin early.
2) Fire a coach who got us to seven regular season wins and the first back-to back bowl games with the same head coach in over two decades.

That’s why firing him last Monday would have been incredibly short sighted and stupid.  I can’t see two more wins here, we’ll get to seven losses and make a change.

(And I know guys here scream “but it’s been eight years!!!!” - and while that might seem super compelling to them, it isn’t to anyone outside of this bubble.  We’re already seeing articles about how hard a job Syracuse is; that turns into an avalanche and the main national narrative if we fire in either of the two scenarios I listed.  Which will make getting a qualified coach harder, which will make turning things around unlikely, which will mean we’re back to square one in three years looking for a replacement in a job justifiably viewed in the business as a career killer).
