Well... the buzz is exactly that. Win he stays, lose he gone. I agree it's terrible leadership if true, but that appears to be the way of the wind

I don't think winning or losing the Egg bowl matters. Joe is going back up North. This has been in the works since the Tennessee loss. We are just playing out the season. Just my gut feeling on all of this.
I also would not not be surprised if we are already in contract talks with Napier.
If we are only keeping him or firing him based on one game then it is not going to do much good with someone with that mindset making the next hire.
6-6 he moves on. We both save face.
Then the new coach comes in with a rag tag staff - let's say Billy Napier for the sake of argument - and he puts together a quick game plan for our bowl opponent.
And then the offense - with the same players - looks lights out better and lays an ass whooping in the bowl game.
That's win/win.
