Would O have survived this season had he gone, let's say

I think he’d still be here (assuming the pandemic still happens in this scenario) but on a very very short 2015 Miles type leash

9-3 in 2019?

If not for the historic season can you imagine the howling for him being fired.

I think he'd be gone because after 9-3 we wouldn't have given him raise and extension and Woodward could've cheaply fired him.

Would Nick Saban have survived this long at Alabama had he gone let's say 9-3 his fist 3 or 4 years there?

If "if" was a skiff we would all be fishing.

What is the point in a question like this?

Probably not, only because his buyout would've been very minimal. He got the big contract after the 19 season. Had he not had that season, he's likely still on his original deal.

Most definitely would have been fired.

2019 happened though. I'm not even a fan of O, but considering everything he faced with the pandemic, turnover of staff and players, off the field garbage...etc, he deserves a chance to redeem himself. Regardless of how people perceive how that incredible 2019 season took place, he was the head coach. Next year I'm expecting nothing short of a 10+ win season. If he bombs agains, so be it. Fire his arse. But I don't expect that to happen. I feel great about next years Tigers.
