Question re: "no way Lake gets fired this year" nonsense

I heard this again on Derek's (otherwise good) pod. Explain to me why there's "no chance" Lake gets fired after year 2, even if we go 4-8 or 3-9? There's even precedent at UW with Gilby. Every level of the program and AD has been eviscerated and torn asunder. We're talking Hitler in the bunker with Soviet shells landing in the Reich Chancellery Garden levels of bad.
And I know factually the buyout money is there if UW decided they needed to. So let's kill that argument in its tracks here.

Don’t shoot the messenger but Hopkins finished dead last two years in a row. Jimmy finished “first” in the north year one and has a losing record year two. The school is in Seattle Washington. No one at the school or in the AD wants to deal with those optics. Is it warranted and is there precedent set to justify a termination? Absolutely. Just not in this day and age. Just not happening.

Because canning him means Jen admitting she screwed up royally?
-
No way the current AD fires Lake.
-
UW prefers slow drawn out deaths over multiple seasons causing the whole decade to be lost.
-
No chance the President fires Cohen. And Cohen will give “her guy” another year. As Derek pointed out she’s blaming the fans like a loser cunty soccer mom.

Because his first year wasn't a normal year.
For UW's soft culture that's all the excuse needed to justify a third year.
"He deserves at least two full years".
Guaranteed. -
The only answer is to point at the recent history at UW, quotes from within the AD, and quotes from Jimmy himself which seem to still convey a sense of comfort and confidence.
I dont think he gets fired, period, but finishing with 2-3 wins might be enough. I won't stop hoping. -
In my email to the AD/president saying I won’t be giving them another dime, I specifically cited Jen’s constant use of COVID as an excuse for Jimmy. It’s her Ole Reliable when she has to defend Jimmy.dnc said:Because his first year wasn't a normal year.

I said it’s absurd to think that Jimmy deserves praise for “handling COVID” while he loses to teams that also had to deal with COVID, including one in Montana that had their entire fall season canceled. -
