Keenum has never been the president while we needed to fire the football coach for letting the program spiral downward. We're already in unprecedented times, so the fact that we didn't win the Egg Bowl the year we fired Felker means absolute nothing.

Keenum/Cohen should already know what they are going to do regardless of the outcome of the game, and if the decision is to cut Moorhead loose I'm sure they are already well down the path of finding a replacement.
It really is stupid. There aren't very many instances in the modern era (which could be defined in different ways, but at the earliest would start with Jackie's hiring) where we have had a coach on the verge of getting fired. Basically you had Jackie, who had a ton of good will and got to stay on a year or two longer than normal coaches would have gotten to, and then you had Croom, who was never getting fired earlier than 2007, and obviously did well enough in 2007 that it was not an issue even if he lost the Egg bowl (although lots of people still recognized that his offense was awful). So you have a sample size of about 1.
