retiring and you wait to hear from your employer that you are no longer employed, then you were terminated/fired/let go. You did not retire. You may still retire but it was forced retirement. He missed his chance to do it right and go out with everyone talking about him and his career all year long.

I always like the Al Groh poetry angle on his final presser** -- Jethro Tull Mar 09, 2023 at 03:55 PM ET

Pretty much what I was thinking. Should have left when son left** -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 01:31 PM ET

Yep, he threw his own ‘legacy’ in the trash due to his pride** -- HOKIE1 Mar 09, 2023 at 12:22 PM ET

If your secret contract is not extended, are you truly fired? -- Va AandM Mar 09, 2023 at 11:25 AM ET

Probably so greedy he wanted a severance package. Money!** -- WildTurkE Mar 09, 2023 at 11:20 AM ET

He was true to his character. Quite the Asshat during the presser. ** -- D-Day Mar 09, 2023 at 10:52 AM ET

He also said he made his retirement announcement last week.... -- vtbball80 Mar 09, 2023 at 10:38 AM ET

Sarcasm. Whatever he said is now his retro retirement speech. -- TomTurkey Mar 09, 2023 at 12:09 PM ET

I think he wanted the university to “demonstrate” they wanted him back. -- Femoyer Hokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:46 AM ET

Femoyer Hokie • 03/09/23 10:46 AM ET

I'm pretty sure he had already been told that was not an option** -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:47 AM ET

I would hate to forever look back on that last interview as how I left. -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:46 AM ET

They probably tried to make it a good situation, but it is Boeheim -- turkeywinghokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:45 AM ET
