I’m not a fan of in season firings unless something egregious happens, and losing games doesn’t qualify. He’s has had his chances though, and no matter what happens from here on he needs not return next year.

I think there's actually 2 years left on his contract after this season. Buyout is 400k/yr.

I'm afraid Ingram will go cheap - aka let him coach one more season (with only 1 yr left on his contract which is a recruiting death sentence) and if we have another bad year fire him then for 400k less.

I don't think there's a way to get to that point though. Ehsan is going to need a new contract this summer for recruiting. If you're not going to offer him an extension then you're setting him up to fail. It's not just high school kids that want to know he'll be there, but transfer portal kids aren't going to risk coming and sitting out a year if it looks like he's fired. It's costly, but I think this is the year it needs to be done.
