Maybe I missed it. Where was the “possible to be fired by Monday” article? Final nail is something from which you don’t recover, which is an apt description of the Usce game. The “imminent” quote—also indicative of damage already done—was Sunday. I don’t recall any defined timeline, other than to say it wouldn’t be during the season, which cam out early this week.
Again, I’m not denying that there isn’t some desire to keep him from Stricklin. I’m saying that there’s no turning back. If by some miracle we blow out fsu and mizzou, he may get next year. But I don’t see a scenario where that happens. In any event, the groundwork is being laid and he’s gone at some point soon, quite possibly on mutual terms.
