If we let a coach go 0-16 and invite him back to do it again we just flat out suck as a school. No way I'm spending money to watch that garbage again next year.
Even if it ends up at 4 - 8, the progress from last year is significant. It was the worst team I've ever seen and this year they are competing to win. If it is possible that there can be just as much progress with another year then the chance should be offered.
