In response to CrimsonBlood
If I'm Tommy and I get called to the AD's office to talk about performance, I'm doing a Denzel in Training Day monologue about where this program would be without me - the NCAA bids, the renovation of Lavietes, the Breakfast Club, etc. I then walk out the door. I imagine that pretty much ends the conversation.
What I could see is Tommy doing a Coach K-esque naming of a successor - in my mind, number 1 on that list would be Christian Webster, given Tommy's insistence on bringing in guys with Harvard connections to the coaching team. But I don't know at what point he would feel ready to make that call.
In the short term, I think the hope has to be that Tommy rediscovers his recruiting mojo. He's never been an in-game guy, but now he's being regularly out-coached AND out-recruited by Princeton and Yale. Given the quality of play across the league, though, even that might not be enough.
You either leave a hero or live long enough to become the villain, and I don't think Tommy's leaving anytime soon.
