Wow!!
He signed a three year extension last December. Plus, they have been doing slightly better of late.
You sound suprised
He has been on the “hot seat” for a while now. I think its a good move by UNLV.
This year is somewhat of an improvement. They showed signs of life when they lost a close one to Oregon State, but have been awful since then.

Because of the new deal he signed last year, not surprised by his performance.

Do they have to pay him out of his contract?

Usually there is some type of buyout if fired.

The buyout is $225k or $250k if the firing occurs before December.
After December it would have been $200k.
Everyone hates a pink-shirt-wearing communist.
