No matter what, a losing season gets Chico kicked out--so he will be gone shortly. 0-12 doesn't get Mac fired. It doesn't get RV fired, either. Benford gets fired as soon as it becomes clear that a .500 season is out of the question or when we finish up the season without a bid to the NCAAs or the NIT.

Now, its possible that Smatresk may be the one who picks the next coach in basketball--knowing full well that he is going to replace RV when the buyout drops down, but before we can fire Mac if he cannot turn it around. That scenario is plausible...but so is the very real possibility (or probability) that RV is still here as the AD until he retires.

Good thoughts, Jim. My scenario (if I was in the drivers seat) would not be full-auto, but sniper-like instead. Perhaps I am out of step with current thinking, but I come from the school that believes the AD runs the department and is accountable for his hires to the Pres. Therefore, the first domino to fall is the AD. A new AD then has the option to evaluate and retain/replace any and/or all coaches (subject to financial considerations). The new AD is evaluated by the Pres based on the effectiveness of his decision-making.

That is the way it would work in my kingdom. JMHO.

Alas, I fear it is not to be. UNT is currently located in the kingdom of Smatreskistan, and a fair place it is! I am not a pretender to the throne, only an occupier of a porcelain one
