IMHO there is no question that Muir mishandled the softball situation. It was clear that he knew next to nothing about what was going on and walked into a situation unprepared. He then proceeded to make things worse. Rittman was going to get fired over the extra practice time. That was a given. The rest of what happened was not a given, and Muir certainly demonstrated he didn't have institutional knowledge of, let alone control of the situation.
That said, he didn't get asked to leave. He also apparently didn't get asked to leave because of the budget problems or because of his failed attempt at canceling sports to alleviate it. From that I think we can deduce he isn't going anywhere unless and until there is a replacement available that is viewed by "management" as a better choice. They aren't going to fire and look, at least at this point. What does he have to do to change the situation and actually get fired? Apparently quite a lot.
