Maybe he's not a bad dude, but maybe he screwed up. You've got multiple people in this thread referring to instances in the year where he went against Woodson's express orders. I don't know him either, but it seems like there's a lot of smoke. If that's the case, letting him go now is the way of having it be handled smoother. This is the time for coaching changes, it will get lost in the dozens of other schools making switches. 
This firing is not going to torpedo Fife's career. If that could do it, Archie Miller would be unemployed today. 
 

I will happily be unemployed for 1.9M per year

Rabjohns just said that no one close to the program would be surprised at Fife's firing. Rather, they'd be surprised if he wasn't fired. 
 
Wait, am I allowed to say that now that it was taken down? I don't know the rules. I'm just some schmuck stuck in Michigan.

The nice thing about the editing feature is that you can replace a silly thing you said in the heat of the moment.

Fair enough, I misread it.

What smells about it? If he didn't fit with Woodson, he's gone. They gave it a year, it didn't work. College programs make these changes all the time. There's a reason they call it a coaching carousel.

The internal politics don't really matter. Basketball is a business and this sort of thing happens in the business world all the time. Dane Fife was never, in my opinion, ever going to be the savior of the IU program. I'm shocked that so many people seem to be upset about this. It's just an organizational change. Nothing more. I don't care what Dakich, or anyone else, thinks about this decision. What matters is what CMW does going forward. He has more skin in this game than anyone else. Have a little faith. If CMW is wrong, he is the one who will suffer the consequences.

At least we know the team should come out fired up. 

I tried to post when things were at their darkest and was told I was locked out of my account. Don't know why, but it sure kept me from publically making a fool of myself.
 
Edit: at least that time
