The reason Ed was fired didn't have that much to do with football.
It had everything to do with the 2008 Presidential Debate coming to Ole Miss.
Chancellor Khayat didn't want ANY football coaching controversy to bubbling up in the Fall of 2008 with the Presidential Debate coming to campus.
Ole Miss had spent Millions of dollars to land and and prepare for it, and the last thing Khayat was going to have was "Football Gate" interfering with it.
And then despite it all, John McCain, who used to spend summers in Mississippi, about spoiled it all when he "suspended" his campaign.
