It also seems like this is Florida's MO. Since Spurrier, the only coach who has gotten more than three years is Urban.

This, but there is also the fact that he played footsie with the NFL last off season to get a raise and an extension. There were some boosters very unhappy with that, feeling like Florida is a designation job.
So, in summary:
1) Showed a lack of loyalty to the school
2) Was a general ass to administrators, boosters and press.
3) Poor recruiter
4) Seemed to completely loose the team this season
There was no way he was keeping that job. Rumor is Urban is going to bring him on staff.
