SI Pete Thamel reports Cristobal fired

The whole thing just makes no sense. They're definitely going to see a drop in recruiting unless they name a replacement quickly and he's a name. Cristobal will be snatched up by a bigger conference in no time even if it's not as HC

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

could he have pulled a Bobby Petrino at FIU and the AD found out about it, and fired him because of misconduct.

I don't know much about Cristobal, but he doesn't strike me as that type of guy. What Petrino did at Ark was disgusting and I have no respect for him. Especially after he just ditched the Falcons in the middle of the season to take the Arkansas job

"It was based on going 3-9 this year with 30 seniors and what was suppsoed to be his best team," FIU athletic director Pete Garcia said. "He's done a very good job for this program, but we've gone backwards over the last year and a half. Over the last 22 games, we've gone 8-14."

It's all good. Neither of us really know WHY he was fired. All speculation at this point. You're more than entitled to throw out different possibilities. I was just saying he doesn't strike me as that type of guy and that Petrino is a disgusting human being lol. Wasn't attacking you lol

He had to be interviewing for other jobs behind Garcia's back. I'm thinking USF.

Pete Garcia, the guy who decided, instead of an AD, to be an "Executive Director, Sports & Entertainment", is surely to blame here. Anyone who makes a decision like changing his title to sound more important has to be a douche.

Dieter is reporting on twitter that Christobal and Garcia didn't get along too well.
