I did a little checking. Looking at the 2016 OOC schedule the Horns had losses to:
UNLV - 1 loss
Texas State - 1 loss
California - 4 losses
UCLA - 2 losses
aggy - 1 loss
Tulane - 2 losses
A&M Corpus - 1 loss
UH - 1 loss
Lamar - 1 loss
Stanford not included since we split 2-2
14 losses that I can find. Win half of the CAL and UCLA games and all the 1 loss games would be 11 wins and a 33 - 19 season. That would have left him 17 shy of the magical 2000 and bringing him back for 2017 would be practically a no-brainer. Even half of those would be 7 wins would set him at 29-23, still easier to give him the nod to come back for 2017 needing 21 or so wins to hit 2000.
If we lose to OSU and TCU administers the coup de gras tonight for a 22-32 finish, its hard to find support for letting him finish out his contract, especially needing 28 Ws to reach the 2000. So we'll see what happens. Also the team went 2-9 the last 11 games, that would have been unacceptable just a few years ago.
