It's the only way out I see that benefits our program.
This is an underrated possibility that I think needs to be discussed more. I still think several schools would take him. Someone in the mold of a Kansas, Wake Forest, Iowa State, Indiana, Washington State, Rutgers. etc. would easily roll the dice on him even with a 3-9 or so finish. Coaches talk a lot, and its publicly known that he was truly burned out and just wanted out of Starkville then I think he could land something. There will be a minimum of 4 or 5 of those type jobs open this offseason, and I think he would take a small paycut (maybe $3 milion or so) to get one if the alternative was being fired this year or next. That is honestly the best situation for both him and us if things spiral out of control this season.

Like I said, we are biased. Doesn't change how it's perceived nationally compared to us or a similar school.

For that to happen I think we would have to lose and he would have to resign next week to save face. I think teams are going to be leery about him because I think a lot of schools are going to think that it was more about Dak than Dan.
My guess as to what is most likely to happen if we tank it is I bet Urban picks him back up in some capacity. It may be an analyst or advisor role until someone hires his OC and then Dan moves back up that way.
Personally I think Dan needs to step back from coaching for a little bit- at the very least head coaching.
