If you don't think wildhack fired jb, but allowed him to save face by moving into administrative position, I don't know what to tell you.

We both agree that JB held the program hostage, and handcuffed the athletic department to the great extent that he could, until the athletic department didn't want to put up with it anymore. It was a difficult situation for all involved, because JB was a coaching legend, who would want a national championship, and who had led the program to unprecedented heights, but his performance had dropped off significantly, he was embarrassing the university both in terms of performance and in terms of his personal conduct in the media, and it was time for him to go.

The notion that he forced the administration into anything at that point I think is bunk. They allowed him to hang on, and it became more uncomfortable for everyone involved until they finally couldn't put up with it any longer, and they pushed him out.

The problem is that they allowed him to hang on TOO long, without his performance warranting that latitude.
