No. I'm not going to agree that he's here for another season until I see him hiring coaches.
Volfan28 was trying to, I don't know, convince everyone to drop this conversation because obviously CJP will be back for another year, to which I simply replied that, no, I will not be convinced that he's coming back until we see him making hires to replace coaches who have been fired, or leave on their own, or who's contract runs out.
And at that point, if he does make hires, then it will be painfully obvious that he's here another year, and the buyout(s) just got more expensive, as you stated.
I'm with you, let's do this now.
