No, not at all...(edit: as in, not at the genesis of the firing)

So you have this public outburst, insubordination, not keeping the athletic dept in the loop on failed drug tests, not telling the AD that your players have requested transfers, and whatever else we don't know about all being rolled up into "a pattern of conduct" that allows him to be fired for cause in accordance with his contract. With no outlay of the $1.8 million.
At the very least, even if we don't end up saving a dollar, with all of this out in the open, the political fallout will be nil as no one will be able to make the claim that he shouldn't have been fired.
