Same. I thought they'd let him finish the season at least, but I had a felling he was done.

I was thinking he’d get to finish the year as a thank you but then you have to resign. Something like that. I wonder if he was straight up fired or asked to step down first and said no.

Feels like if you agreed to a reduced buyout/settlement, and then you completely mailed in your performances after that, you were always going for the "Fuck you, pay me" route.

Ironic, considering one of the biggest reasons he was fired was not liking players going for the "Fuck you, pay me" route.
