Kevin, go ahead, Kevin.

With all the things that Pope's done, the staff over the last year and a half, the bad PR, the bad recruiting, the blowout losses, why can't...

Where's the rule written that we have to wait a third year?

I mean, his buyout isn't that much.

Well, the rule is there's no rule, but it's not going to happen.

I mean, we can spend all year, but we can spend all year because it's not going to.

I mean, you may personally think it should, and I'm not going to try to tell you you can or can't think that.

You think what you want.

But I'm just telling you as a practical matter, it's not going to happen.

So if it's not going to happen, I don't see the productivity of talking about it for the next six months.

It's not going to happen.

If it was going to happen, it would already happen.

Well, I just think in today's age, I think if there's ever been a time of, you know, what have you done for me lately, it's now.

I think it's almost commonplace that coaches get fired earlier in every sport.

But nobody gets fired in May when the rosters are already set.

Let me just, I mean, if you want to play this out, I'll do this once, and I appreciate the call.

I'm not going to do it again for the rest of the year.

Let's just say you do it.

You know there's a rule book.

There's a thing in the rules that says all the players can leave.
