Chip just fired at Troy.

Over the years App has helped show many coaches the door.

Should have let him finish out the year.

Why? With so many openings get out in front of it.

Gives Chip longer to find a place to land and enjoy his buyout if there is one.

$700,000

You could announce that he will not be returning, start the hiring process and he could start looking. He wasn't doing anything to throw shade on the program. They still have bowl eligibility on the line at Georgia State next week.

Personally, I don't like the mid-season firings that have become normal. I think it's an unintended consequence from the early signing period. ADs don't want to wait until early/mid December (or later for Bowl teams) because a recruiting class could be put in jeopardy.

I hate it for coaches like Lindsey who seems like a decent guy...won a few games, but couldn't get it done in the W column. Coaching is not for the tender hearted.

These guys most always land on their feet when tossed out.
