I mean, it would be on brand in the same way any scenario you can think of is possible, no matter how ridiculous because Phil D sucks, but no, suggesting something that’s never happened in recent college football, maybe ever, is not in line with CUAD. Phil oversaw Hawkins being fired mid season, Embree being hired and fired in 2 seasons, MacIntyre being fired, Tucker being hired, etc.Think about it for a second.
Can you honestly say there wouldn't be anything more in line with Phil's CU than the Athletic Department being told: "Unless you can come up with a booster who will pay for a coaching change, you either have to keep him or you could fire him and not have a HC until 2024"?
Hiring a full time interim for one season makes no sense whatsoever
