Well, personally, I think he'll get an extension this fall. Perhaps Muir was waiting to see how much of a dip ticket sales are taking before formulating an offer. Don't rule out the possibility that Dawkins himself asked to put things on hold while he watches a situation developing somewhere else.

Sure, these things are possible.

What I think is an odd thing to assert is that there's any possibility...he'll get fired the season after a Sweet 16 trip. ...

Well, I didn't assert that, so feel free not to worry.

What I did assert is that it's extremely odd that Muir announced Dawkins is coming back, said he'd be staying for quite some time, and then not extend him. It's a situation where his lack of action doesn't match his words. It's fair to ask, "what's going on here?" You've provided a couple explanations. There are others. Who knows? The point is, the situation is odd, and as far as I can tell, unique in the conference. You can be blase if you'd like, but I don't think it's the common-sense reaction to this combination of facts.
