Well, there it is, folks. The final nail is in the coffin of Tom Crean’s coaching career with the Bulldogs. After a horrific 6-26 season, he’s been shown the exit.

You simply can’t coach a major school, only win six games, become one of the worst teams in America and expect to keep your job.
It’s just not going to happen, and Crean learned that the hard way.
The only question now is whether or not he lands another job. He could easily get a mid-major job, but his time coaching in major conferences might be over.
