NM State fires head football coach Hal Mumme (Wizbang Sports)

He spent four years in Las Cruces. Before that Mumme was head coach at four different schools, including Kentucky. From ESPN-

New Mexico State fired coach Hal Mumme on Monday after a 3-9 record overall and 1-7 in the WAC this season.
New Mexico State lost the last seven games of the season. Mumme, the former Kentucky coach, was 11-38 in four years.

His contract was set to expire in 2010.

Which probably means Mumme will spend 1.5-2 years earning money for doing nothing. Not too bad for someone age 56. Why can't I get fired by a college before my contract is up?
