Being in Cental Florida, Why did FIU fire Cristobal and hire Ron Turner?

I never thought much of Ron Turner as a QB coach in Tampa. He is the brother of Norv Turner without the successful coaching record (sarcasm alert). I am glad Cristobal is gone for FAU's program but it is certainly was an odd move.
What was the story?

I thought they conceded the Miami area to FAU and Miami but got rid of a pretty good coach who was happy with the crappy facilities they have. He gets hired by Alabama as an OL head coach and assistant head coach which is an incredible kick upstairs for that guy's career.

You should go to FIU's board and ask them….my opinion on Mario is he was a good recruiter got one AMAZING recruit, road him as far as he could. Had no control over the team, was not a good "coach"…anyone know if FIU vandalized the locker room like they did last year?

By the way, that is why pedigrees are dangerous for selecting coaches. Carl Pellini might have been a decent recruiter by name but his game fay planning stinks compared to Brian Wright. I thought Pellini cost us at least two games and probably a third in the Middle Tennessee State game. We had the ball inside MTS territory with the score tied when Johnson was picked.

There is SO much HS talent in this state that you could literally pick up the scraps and have a great class. The conference upgrade is a plus and the stadium is beautiful.
Having gone to the last three home games, you can see a definite offensive improvement. The D was always pretty tough. Praying the Owls get in a bowl game!
