Much like everyone else, I have been thinking about this a lot and if what is being reported is true is that Mallory is out with CKW recruting, then my best guess is that he is not going to be fired (I wish that I had a job that I could perform so pooerly at and still keep it!)
I think that IU will have a new DC come next year, but I think that Mallory will still be on staff and have to take a demotion to a position coach, which while not best, I could still live with, which is why he is still out recruiting. Considering his past performance, where is the guy really going to go, D2?
The other thing being, I am not so sure that IU wants to burn the Mallory bridge. That is my nest guess...otherwise either he has something on someone in the AD or the Administration and is threatening to expose them or Bill is paying for his salary to keep him on staff.
