If only other coaches knew when it was time to call it quits. *cough*

If you speaking of SC, she quit few years back

I kind of feel bad for McGraw considering many times her teams made the title game and did not win. I remember her making it two years in a row without winning, kind of like Shaefer at MSU recently. Of course she lost again last year in the final. I'd say making the finals and losing is still a very successful season and she went out on a very high note. SC, on the other hand, will most likely have to be forced out due to her horrible performance. It might take a new AD in order to do so, or she will simply retire. McGraws 10 years older than SC, so hopefully we don't have 10 more years of this level. I have to think that at some point something will give and we will either make a turn in the right direction and start winning some games or someone will step down. Surely winning 8 - 15 games per season for the next several seasons won't be tolerated, will it??!

I think it will! What has already been allowed is so drastically different than what normally happens...namely an extension while on a consistent decline. I have to agree with Spock now...she'll be there at least until the end of the 2023 contract. I'll be surprised if she retires or gets fired prior to then. Heck, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they extend again. She's been teflon protected so why change now?
