It was a resign or get fired situation. In every other sports situation like this the media says "basically the guy got fired" There was no waffle. This and the rest of your rebuttal is bad faith. Just to pick part:
[I]"Lol, he recruited those "best guys" and brought him the to Connecticut. Corney Thomson, Mike McKay, Chuck Aleksinas were the graduating seniors. That was some big time talent he brought to Storrs. You can't see the logic in extending the guys contract so he could continue to recruit? It's a pretty common thing for an AD to do."[/I]
This is mind-numbingly inane. That "big-time" talent lost 7 out of their 8 last games. Not only did he the coach that talent so poorly, he wasn't bringing in new guys with that "big-time" talent still on the team. Why would that change with them gone? He coached for 4 losing years in a row. And the only reason he was let go is because one of his players got involved in a big scandal. The AD would have brought him back if it was left up to him.

If you aren't willing to accept that as AD ineptitude I'm calling shenanigans.
