You might think it's funny but you are forgetting that he just signed an extension. They may not pick up the option for the second year but they may give him the first season.
It's still up in the air. Demoff said the last 5 games would tell him if things were going in the right direction. That's an out to keep him IMO because he didn't say ANYTHING about winning, or reaching a final record of wins and losses. It was nebulous by design, and why would he be so vague if there wasn't a possibility it would happen.
