re: Why was Canada fired from NC State?

Debbie Yow, the AD at NCSU, needed to appease some of the powers that be. She told Doeren to fire Canada to achieve that goal. They had some slip ups and Jacobey Brissett had plateaued a bit but they had some serious injuries to their best RB's. Canada was on VACATION when he got the call. As a friend of mine said who worked at NCSU, "he won't stay fired long". Sure enough, Pitt came calling.
