I have no reason to say this other than my gut, but I think the decision has already been made and Baker is a goner.
Thinking that this ballgame will save Baker, or make any difference, if you’re smart you don’t run your business that way. The guy either has it or he doesn’t.
This ball game should make no difference even if we pitch a shutout, because UNC was not really an aberration so much as it was a culmination of a defense hanging by a thread all year. When you cannot attenuate the high risk/high reward aspects of this defense, you can end up getting really slashed.
Whatever his decision, it’s ridiculous to think that you’re going to get any clues from boilerplate interviews. I guess some people just have never learned.
It’s one thing to want Baker or even Manny fired, but it’s another thing to get all worked up because people aren’t telling you what their innermost thoughts are regarding their job status or future hirings or firings. It never fūcking works that way.
