Just a question from an outsider who cares about your WBB program.
I don't know if anyone sees the situation this way, but in the event Mr. Donahoe is planning for a change in WBB leadership while two key players have already left the program, should he take immediate action now, announce the decision, form a search committee and with whatever money he can offer, hire the best available candidate who has the credentials and potential to turn the program around, but with the possibility (of his firing Coach Paye) may prompt other key players (Swain, Eschmeyer, Ogden, Clardy) to leave - which means the new coach starts from scratch?
Or does Donahoe have other options?
