Not advocating for a lateral move...but staying with Miles only digs the hole deeper with this program. That's not meant to be a slight on Miles more than what we already know of him. It's meant that things will only get worse. If people are using administrative support as an excuse now....that only goes down if he's retained. Local media and fan base will become restless and apathetic creating a toxic culture (even moreso) around the program. If people think the existing contract situation has hindered recruiting, it only gets worse after this if he is retained.
If nothing else, the new coach, lateral or not, will be starting fresh, which we need at this point.
