Unfortunately the AD is like a political position and he will have to play the game if he wants to get anything done for now. The Tradition Coalition/Boosters, Etc have been in control for a long time now so Turd will have to play ball for awhile until he can move himself and the AD into a more powerful position to make decisions on their own without as much interference. For instance he knew he couldn't fire Frost at this time without a bunch of blowback so he came up with a contract that left the AD in a more powerful position with Frosts future and which also gave Frost a chance to prove himself. It's a win/win for the AD for now, Frost improves great, if he doesn't then they are in a much better position if/when they have to fire him.
