I think that's one of the reasons that the FO and coaching staff might consider the strategy. If it does work out it does give them the chance to say 'we are building something here, keep us around to see it through'.

Obviously the thought of them sticking around is pretty horrific for most fans right now, but let's be honest, they aren't exactly gonna plan an off-season strategy that increases the chances of their own departures, are they?
