You were a newspaper guy?getting fired from anything sucks. Especially after what they thought they were going to accomplish the next couple of years. This has got to be brutal for the guy. I don't care if he is at A&M, or was. His demotion has got to hurt his pride if nothing else. Maybe they will reassign him to oversee construction of a golf course, like another coach I recall.
I once got fired from a stringer job at a newspaper I hated and am still sort of bitter about it half a century later. And I deserved it. Hope it is bearable for the guy.
