Everyone will know the coach is going to get fired and things will quickly become a circus. Essentially, '09 would become (yet another) lost season.

BS. If the players give up after an 0-4 start because they're scared of the possibility of a new coach
the season after, then I don't want a single one of them on the team. You really believe they play with that attitude? You really think their egos are so brittle that they can't handle losing unless the head coach is guaranteed to be there the next season? That seems absurd. If they hire a new coach and still go 0-4, will it be that different simply knowing the coach's job is safe?
The idea that a team can't or won't play hard or play together unless the coaching situation is guaranteed long term is just stupid.
