Mooney won’t be let go by the university this year. The only other option is him retiring, which we would likely know by now or next week, but that isn’t happening either. That most recent JOC article of Mooney revisiting strategy suggests he’s coming back. His job is likely safe next year too unless we have another season of 10 or fewer wins then maybe more pressure in NIL era. But most likely he will do good enough where his job is safe for another 2 years. If we stink 3 years in a row after the 2027-2028 season would be the “we’re mutually parting ways” from our department.
