Currently I do not have a problem with how it was done, and not sure why people do.

I believe you are incorrect, as I seem to recall that the contracts are based on the academic year and not the calender year.

Let's see how this plays out as more details are revealed over the next few months. In the meantime, we beat state once again and make the play-offs. Business as usual....

Pflu and Jim have lawyered up and Engstrom and the powers at be will be having to explain themselves. I expect more information to come to light and things to potentially to get even uglier, but at this point all parties are doing exactly what they should be doing by keeping their mouths shut and keeping their emotions at check. One thing I will never understand is "fans" crying for the University harshly being sued. That isn't a good scenario for the University or for the coaches and players who remain with the program. The best scenario for everybody is for Jim and Robin to get what they are fairly owed and for everybody to move on and support whoever is brought into replace them. Sourgrapes don't help anybody.

Engstrom didn't consult or even inform his senior vice president who sits in the office next to him. He didn't discuss the situation with O'Day or Pflu. Who do you consider Engstrom's "management" to be?

I know you out of state folks don't hear all the local Missoula media news. A couple of the tv and print media have stated that O Day and Pflugrad had clauses in their contracts that required notice if they were to be fired. From what I hear they had no notice.
To me that screams lawsuits. Since I am still a tax paying Montanan, that concerns me. No matter how you cut it, a bungled firing by Engstrom will cost me money.
Not a problem for you. Great. Some of the rest of us don't see anything but lawyers in our future, not so great.

They weren't fired. Their contracts aren't being renewed. Expect a severance settlement, and life goes on.

He didn't consult his vp Jim Foley. Seems like a glaring omission to me.
