Totally, completely predictable.
1) Being a verbally and physically abusive asshole can be a great way to motivate 18-22 year olds who have few options. It doesn't work in the NIL/transfer portal era and sure as fuck doesn't work with professional, grown adults.
2) Jacksonville is only an hour away from Gainesville by I-10/US-301; there's a lot of overlap by the writers and AM radio personalities on the sports beat. Urban had made a lot of enemies in Florida ten to fifteen years ago who relished the chance to take him down a peg or two. I don't think Urban ever understood this, or that Pete Thamel & Tom Rinaldi wouldn't be around to do a puff rehabilitation piece on his behalf.
As Marty Brennaman said to Ken Griffey Jr after Griffey took exception to Marty calling him out for his routine of stretching a double into a single by jogging to first, "I was here before you were here and I'll be here long after you're gone."

Damn if ND could’ve waited a couple of weeks. 
I’m actually really surprised at how quickly the flameout happened. Figured Urban would go 6-6 in year three or something and that would cause the freak out. Not even a full season? Goddamn.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Depends on how hard Khan tries to push the angle that punting the kicker made it a for cause wracking.

He’s a college football coach by trade ..not Mother Teresa. He did nothing wrong accepting the position but the person hiring him can’t act all surprised now.

I wasn't sorry we parted ways with him when we did, and now it's looking fucking brilliant. I'd have hated to see the shitshow that might have ensued had Drake and the board caved and sent him the message that he was untouchable and bigger than the university.

It seems like the decision was made to fire him, then Khan asked his lawyers how much it would cost him, and what could be used to minimize that cost, and then the “OMG!, he kicked the kicker!” story came out.Depends on how hard Khan tries to push the angle that punting the kicker made it a for cause wracking.
Sounds like some lawyers on both sides will get paid before they reach a settlement.
