Because he would be in the last year of his contract if you don?t extend him. What decent recruits are going to sign in 24 to play for a lame duck coach in 25. If he doesn?t get fired in May of 2024 for mediocre to below average performance, we will have him signed for another 4 years. What would be his incentive to do any better in 25 sitting on the last year of his contract. No coach will do that. As 34 says, we have 1 shot to get rid of him only if he underperforms next year.
