What would Kirk do If Barta fired Brian.

Why would KF want to try to catch Stagg in B1G wins? Does having the most wins in history by 1-2 games really matter when it takes you an unbreakable record in number of losses to get there? In a nutshell, all that means is that you coached for a really, really long time.

I don't think KF can win enough to reach a winning % of .600. If he managed a 7-6 record this year, which would be utterly amazing, that would put him at 197-137, which is .590. This is how the rest of his career would have to go for him to finish >.600:

- 1 more season - 12-1 would be 209-138 (.602) (if played in BTT, then would have to finish 13-1) (KF has won 12 games once)

- 2 more seasons - 19-6 (216-144, exactly .600) (KF has won 19 games over 2 seasons 6 times)

- 3 more seasons - 27-12 (224-149, .601) (KF has won 27 games over 3 seasons 4 times)

None of those really seem plausible, as it would mean KF suddenly matching the best 1-3 year run(s) of his career, with the offense currently on life support.

So, it stands to reason that he should just hang it up ASAP and hope that Fitz coaches long enough to relieve him of the dubious distinction of losingest coach in B1G history.
Jees... you really are a glass half empty guy aren't you......
 
What would Kirk do?

If Gary fired Brian, Kirk would somehow find a way to make the offense even worse just so he could say, “see it wasn’t so bad under Brian”
 
OK back to my original question. What do you all think Kirk would do if Barta fired Brian. Just play pretend that Barta had the balls and actually did it. What do you think Kirk woudl do?
Demand Encourage Gary to hire one of his daughters instead?
