IMO that is basically throwing in the towel on this season and saying better luck next year. And to be honest barring some kind of absolutely catastrophic failure or some kind of egregious misconduct, I don't think anyone is seriously considering it as a possibility. I have certainly had my complaints with some of the way Matt has handled things but the bottom line is that you don't fire someone at 5-3-1 to "save your season" or whatever. Unless he gets caught up in a sports betting scandal or the locker room totally mutinies or something crazy like that, he will see out the year for sure.SO with that in mind IMO the bigger question is not so much about firing him but rather what you do with his contract situation. Because he is only under contract through 25/26 season. And we know that Policy does not want to have a "lame duck" head coach, so we should likely expect some sort of decision one way or the other after this season.Do you hand out a short-term extension? Personally I don't really like the idea of handing out a "prove it deal" to your head coach. That does not seem like a recipe for success to me and TBH just seems like a delayed lame-duck deal lol. Do you go ahead and commit to a long-term deal? What would need to happen to make you comfortable (or not) with handing out another 3-4 years contract to Matt? Or, alternatively, since he is still under contract for one more year...do you seek out a trade?? Hasn't really been given much serious consideration I suspect as it's quite rare....But I don't know. Even if we conclude it hasn't worked out in GB, I think he would have no shortage of suitors, he would be a hot commodity if we made him available I think...It's a really tough call IMO. Personally what I am HOPING will happen is that we get things turned around the right direction, get a little late season momentum built up, and end up seeing enough down the stretch to feel comfortable with extending and continuing on with Matt. Like I said, I've had my gripes but overall I like Matt and think he brings a lot of good to the table. IMO our best-case scenario is still the one in which he turns it around here with us, that's first-choice. But unfortunately I am not super confident in that happening right now, so I don't know...</blockquote>
