I imagine he expected this year to go very differently. He prob thought they would challenge for a Big12 championship, maybe make the CFP. That would've setup nicely for him to retire and hand the reins to Scalley. Now he may have one of his worst seasons ever, maybe not even make a bowl game. Will he want go out like that? If he does he will make Scalley's job infinitely harder to rebuild with a regime change and prob some existing talent bailing to the portal.
