You’ve made that clear.

And I don’t know this for a fact, but my guess is the Wade firing happened above Woodward’s pay grade. He may have agreed with it, but I think Tate and the BOS wanted him gone. It’d be one thing to stick by him if he’d won some hardware like Self or Miller, but the juice of the constant blasting of him in the media by assholes (but big names in the sport) like Vitale, Forde, and Thamel, just wasn’t worth the PR squeeze. It was a bad look for the AD and the University that just wouldn’t go away.
