yeah - i think the idea of Jean continuing past 73 was an impossible notion. she was so disenfranchised with Motown, the old Supremes image/sound/style, Mary. Jean had her own ideas about how she wanted to lead the group but basically was told no.
but putting that aside [[since this is just fantasy talk anyway), I wonder too if they could have gone a more r&b and funk direction rather than disco. it's possible that they could have rebounded in the mid 70s with a sound like that. but then once EVERYONE went disco in late 77 and 78, the girls would have had to at least do some sort of dance thing. trying to think of top disco songs they might have really clicked with...
