person that needed to go, but was more of a scapegoat. Coaching is a tough world and it amazes me how many coaches keep getting hired again after getting fired somewhere else. NFL more than college, but it does happen. Also those that really need to go aren't always the ones that do get let go.
Sad part is KS has shown he will keep his buddies even if they aren't getting the job done. I don't know his relationship to your dad or even Arod, but seems he likes or is comfortable with Arod and didn't want to admit he might have made a mistake just like he took forever to do something about his best buddy last year.
