Conundrum

Do you let Sonny go at the end of the year and pay the $1 Million buyout given the turbulent financial place the athletic department is in? or Do you let him coach 1 more year and prevent having to pay the buyout, but risk another losing season, bad recruiting , etc..

What is the best decision for the long-term health of the football program/athletics department given the consequences of the decision regardless of which decision is made?

The AD/Pres are not at fault because they didn't hire him, but they have the unfortunate reality of making that decision.

Decisions. Decisions.
