It's a shame to lose such great representatives of the university in the Corbellis.

However, comparing the two sports is silly. The soccer staff is in no danger, even if they have a down year. But what's a "down year"?

Volleyball went 10-15 (7-11 Conference) this year. Soccer's worst season was last year at 12-8-2 - never have they dipped below .500

It could be argued that the Volleyball's progress had stagnated. Yes, they had a conference championship in 2015 (their only conference championship in history), but they had only made the Sweet 16 Once in the last fourteen years (and missed the tournament 5 times).

Aggie soccer has made the Sweet 16 Eight times in that same fourteen year period and has 9 regular season conference championships (and 8 conference tournament championships).

All-time Corbelli's winning percentage was 66.81% (63.3% Conference). G is at 75.64% (79.13% Conference). Last 5 year's percentage is 63.74% for Corbelli and 75.17% for G.

So I don't think Woodward sees this as a "slip up and you're fired" deal. I think he's looking big picture. I thought Corbelli was the most in danger of the women's coaches. Jo Evans bought some goodwill with that WCWS appearance last year. The soccer staff has nothing to worry about.
