As much as I wish it were the case, it's not. If you go on a board, typically you are the outlier fanatic that is incapable of keeping irrational bi-polar swings out of perception. Is his seat hot for this board? It has been for 6 years. Is his seat hot in reality to the people that make the decisions? It doesn't seem to be. 12-6 seemed as high as we would get and was also unreasonable to others. I still think anything under 14 wins with our schedule is disappointing, but I don't make the decisions. Most athletic departments don't live on a game to game basis. If they do they would fire their coach mid season. To me that shows more of a failure on the department than the coach. I won't pretend to know what the criteria is for Crean. I think if we were basing him off of our standards he would already have been gone. I get the vibe by how this all went down over the years he was allowed the freedom to build after coming back from the sanctions. Who knows? I don't see him getting fired this year and how hot a seat is all comes down to singular perception. IMO it's IU. That seat is always hot and stressful. People expect wins.
