You make it sound as though Bill Maher made the hire as opposed to TP. I didn't realize the AD hires the assistants for the head coach. Unless of course the AD has the ego of Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys.....

that assistant were perceived to be a threat to the head coach's job. It would put too much pressure on everyone involved, including Maher.
Remember Maher's two first BIG hires were Smith in hockey and Parrotta in basketball, and many observers believed Maher's success as AD would be judged by the success of these two coaches.

Oliver would have landed on his feet somewhere. He and Parrotta both benefit from this deal....and I dont think reume to resume it would have worked if they didnt develop a relationship thru Niagara.
Parrotta needed a minority hire that would be a splash, someone who could recruit and develop players.
Oliver needed a place to land (probably temporary).
