I really didn't think the administration would have the guts to pull this off. Kudos to Stricklin for doing it.
I think Monday's press conference was a huge piece of this because they already didn't like Mac, but the whole death threats thing gave them the ability to get out for a lot less money.
Before the season I thought it was almost guaranteed that Mac would get one more year.. unless a perfect storm of horrible happened...
Guess what... it happened.
1. Suspensions of 9 players for credit card fraud (2 key starters)
2. Lack of any offensive improvement
3. DelRio - who was best starting QB (which is a problem) is out for the season
4. Mac himself as a coach - team should have beat LSU and A&M... it is harder to fire a coach who is winning, even if ugly
5. Mac himself as a person - his press conference was the final straw.
