So he either needs to fall on his sword, or viciously and public uproot and expose the problems that led to the university’s worst-ever athletic hire - like right now. And be brutally honest, humble and retrospectively self-critical for not having the perspective or stones to prevent what happened.
He has lost all trust. IMO this would be the only way to keep his job - and perhaps future career - without triggering a total alumni revolt. Otherwise every hire made through the rest of his tenure will face an uphill battle of skepticism if not controversy, and it will be warranted, even if seemingly unfair to hirees and candidates. We don’t need that crap hanging over the program. Something needs to break.
