Even if he wasn't, his staff would be right? If he gets fired, you'd have to assume that his entire staff goes with him. You have to believe that Williams or his staff played a huge role in Davis development. That's enough for me to keep him on board for another season. No one... not even us fans expected Davis to become a top 10 scorer in 1 year. That's just absurd any way you put it.
I agree his staff has done a reasonable job, but how much of it is coaching and the other experience pushing his development? The kid was very young and still shifting his game, but just because Monty and staff happen to be his coaches while he develops doesn't mean all of his development is thanks to them. Do you think Paul Silas or Mike Brown are responsible for Lebron James' development?
As for a top scoring player in year 2, it's not so shocking if you realized the kid's talent. Just because he wasn't scoring 30 ppg in college doesn't mean he didn't have the ability. At UK he was simply surrounded by a ton of talent and they spread the ball around to everyone. If you watched those teams, Davis clearly could've scored at will much of the time if he wanted to do so.

You're absolutely wrong on his scoring ability coming out of college. He had nice form on his jumper, but his handle and moves with the ball were a mess. He was a dive man and garbage man coming into the league.
Last year he could not create a shot for himself on a regular basis. Many analysts doubted we would see that from him for a few years, if ever. That he's doing it now at high volume AND high efficiency is astounding.
His ceiling is limitless from what we've seen over 100+ games.
