I have no idea why he wasn't gone a LONG time ago, but there is nothing to suggest that PO system would have accelerated that happening.

There's a big difference between winning one bowl game per year and having to win 3 or 4 playoffs games year after year with high expectations.
Bowl games really aren't that serious, you never choke when you lose The Cheeseball Nut Bowl. You lose quarterfinals and semifinals and it starts to take it's toll.
The playoff argument would be that the pressure to win playoff games and constant failure to do so, would force teams to hire newer and better coaches.
