It was a good move making the announcement today. Whether Tye coaches the rest of the year is irrelevant. They needed to do this for recruiting.
We all know recruiting suffers after a coaching change. It was already suffering do to Tye tenuous hold on his job.

This buys the Dawgs some time. It allows us to send a message to uncommitted recruits. The recruiting game has really changed. I know this having personally gone through the process myself years ago. You aren't just recruiting next years class anymore, but classes three years down the road. That is why sophmores are now getting offered ful rides for committing early.

Likely there are local kids out there that bleed purple and have dreamed of playing for the Dawgs but couldn't commit due to the direction of the program. Now they have something to think about. Given the right hire, that coach will also have a chance to turn around some of the other schools commitments. 18 year olds are famous for changing their minds, especially on signing day.

If you're a Dawg fan, your prayers were answered today.
