Why harsh? Timing or you don't think he should be fired? From the outside this firing seems reasonable to me.

Well, he wants to coach. Their two longest Bowl streaks at NC are with him coaching. He's got 288 career wins. He's got a National Championship. Their QB broke his leg game one. Seems he might have earned the right to stay another year, maybe with an ultimatum to meet some AD determined benchmark.

But, I haven't been following them. I see they have 10 recruits and are presently 77th. Maybe he was saving spots for a big portal class to go out on top. IDK...just to me seems premature.
Is it the AD that hired him? Is it a newer AD at NC? All things IDK but just seems if they are going to bowl that he deserves another year...I'm sure he has a plan to be better next year and history says he's delivered often.

The timing is a bit odd. Only 1 game left. I don't think there's a big difference from a coach search standpoint if it was yesterday or Sunday.
 



Losing to Minnesota can get a coach in hot water fired (Pelini; Cooper) but this time beating Minnesota was not enough to keep the job. Go figure.
 

The chances they get a better coach next year is unlikely..
 





Perhaps he didn't want to go out gracefully, as a result they had no choice but to fire him.
