This is kind of which came first......the chicken or the egg. Eichorst was doomed when MR lost to Northern Illinois and his firing was subsequent. Under normal situations both would have been fired at the same time. However being in the middle of a football season there wasn't really anyone to fill in for MR. SE was high on Diaco. Could you imagine making him interim Head Coach! yowiesThe moment Eichorst was fired FHCMR was doomed.
