I think it's a very smart move. Don't commit to anything (or back yourself into any corners) before the season is over.
Wasn't Bill Callahan given a raise during the season when he lost his job?
I suppose so. No doubt it is a very strategic move. I just don't understand why Bo wouldn't have his support. There are faults in this program, but a level-headed, professional, highly intelligent individual (which Eichorst seems to be) should see that this program doesn't need a new head coach at this point. Now, I'm not saying that Bo is the right man for the job long term, but he hasn't done anything to prove that he "definitely" isn't neither. Like I said, I believe Bo deserves a chance to see this through through with his last couple recruiting classes.
