Eh, I've been called worse. The the shock was more in the timing (three days before a nationally televised game when they had ½ a bye week to announce this or ½ a bye week <i>after</i> the Akron game) than the fact that he was canned at all. You'd expect this maybe at the end of the season, especially from a man who had three 9-win seasons, an 8-win season, two MAC championships, and four bowl appearances. It was just an odd day to announce it is all. “Media member?” Eh, I’ve been called worse.
