What purpose does this do on January 10th?

To answer my question in what Gary Parrish wrote, "The money people are ready for a change and that's why it happened now"

Overdue, Rice was terrible.

Yes, he did little with a great deal of talent.

It really does no harm, nor is it particularly helpful. I can see why UNLV wanted to get it over and done though.

DeCourcy makes good points but regardless I think it was a good move. Odd timing, but then again if UNLV knew he wouldn't survive anyway, may as well just cut ties now. Who knows, this could flip a switch that saves their season. They weren't going anywhere with Rice in charge. Worth a shot. Plus now they can focus in on potential coaching candidates without doing it behind Rice's back.

In season firings seem to be more the trend in college sports these days.
