Because that one QB and one single win against an over-rated Ole Miss team pushed him to the top of coaching search boards. He will fall and this will end badly; likely in the middle of next season. Which is why the decision is so perplexing because all we did was buy 10 months. I'm not even sure he will make it to the end of next season, in which case the buyout at that point is the same as it was on Dec 16.

Too many moving parts to analyze the decision to keep him - at least too many questions to answer right now.
