He recently received a contract extension through 2017; sound familiar.

Not really... Cristobal was a great coach at FIU and deserved every penny. Must have had bad blood with the admins. Football performance didn't dictate this firing

Well that was quick......here are words from 1/31/12. I guess his work ethic didn't work this past season.

“We are extremely pleased that Mario Cristobal has chosen to remain the head coach at FIU," said Pete Garcia, FIU executive director of sports and entertainment. "What Mario has accomplished over the past five seasons is exceptional. It has always been my goal to have the very best coaches here at FIU. Mario continues to shine as one of the brightest young coaches in the nation. Our football team continues to gain momentum on the national scene as a result of Coach Cristobal’s tireless work ethic and passion for this athletic department and university. With the support of our chairman of the board, board of trustees, president and the entire university, we will continue to build the athletic department and all of FIU to the highest levels attainable in higher education.â€

isn't any quicker than skippy , is it

Idea floated by a coaching source on Mario Cristobal firing: FIU AD Pete Garcia sees an op to hire his old pal Butch Davis

Watch out for CJL as a back up here to Davis

Just a hunch

BREAKING: FIU fires Mario Cristobal.

That's wild... Who does FIU expect to get that better? They're set up to lose 3-4 games to higher level BCS teams every year. They are not ever going to win 7 or 8 games consistently. The fact they did it two years in a row is outstanding. One bad year after that and he's toast?

That would be quite entertaining.

Don't care what Bruce is suggesting... I'd be absolutely shocked if Butch Davis went to FIU. Far more shocked than if he went to USF.

Resigns at FIU. Sileo thinks he's headed here. Pls. correct misspelled title to Cristobal.
