Eh, hiring someone else interim is throwing good money after bad, we aren't going to do demonstrably better under an interim, and it's not really hope anyway cuz there'll be a new coach next year.If we got Bill Curry or George O'Leary to come coach the rest of the season, we would sell more tickets. If we played better we'd sell more tickets. If fans thought we had done something to Gove them hope, we'd sell more tickets. Plus, we might keep some players from leaving or get some recruits to come, if it looked like there was something positive happening. The press might go from how bad things are to who comes next. So, there would be a lot of advantages in changing things now.
No one is going to buy tickets because Long is an interim, more current ticket holders might show up and increase concessions, but thats about it
Id just tell him he's going to be fired on 1/1, and he can either take the $7M now or wait and get the $7M then. Then I'd extend Weinke to 4 years and let it be known he'll still be on staff next year, regardless, and he'd do nothing but recruit. I can't imagine whomever we hire would be too upset being forced into Weinke as a qb coach. Im sure Coach Prime wouldn't mind and itd be some good continuity.
