(Actual job: Playing out his contract and sending out resumes.)
The timing on this is just bizarre. Why the need to drop it right now, before a bowl game UAB has earned? Most of the despot presidents waited until February to cut the cord and avoid the backlash (Silber, Rabinowitz, etc.)
Also at play: what conference takes this school in? Summit? Or is Tuscaloosa seeing UAB headed to D-II with UAH?
