Back to the Future was not a sure fire hit project. The director reluctantly agreed to hire Eric Stoltz to play Marty McFly. The studio didn't want to pay more for Michael J. Fox who wanted the part.
The filming started and it wasn't long before it was evident Stoltz wasn't working out so well. They had filmed a 3rd of the shoot before they finally had enough. The studio said they couldn't afford a replacement and the cost to film all those scenes over again.
The production was about to be halted and the film was in jeopardy of never being made.
UofL is in a similar situation. KP is ruining the movie and the cast and crew are about to quit. Lost revenue and wasted money is a given either way, so a decision needs to be made right away on how much longer they're willing to go on losing.
The studio fired Stoltz, a nice man, but not the comedic actor the part needed. They got Fox on board and the rest is history. UofL has to fire KP now and somehow find that coach that fits what the game of college basketball is in 2023.
The point of this analogy is it's not too late to make the right decision regardless of how difficult it may be.
