Miami University announced the firing of head football coach Don Treadwell Sunday morning. The 'Hawks started the season 0-5 including a 21-9 loss Saturday to Central Michigan.

Probably not the worst decision RT @TomVH: That’s interesting RT @CFTalk Miami (OH) has fired head coach Don Treadwell.

But Treadwell wasn't the only one fired, his offensive coordinator John Klacik, most famous for nearly ruining a D-II program during his time as its head coach, was also canned.
Miami University has fired Coach Treadwell along with our Offensive Coordinator!!! #MIAMIREDHAWKS

Even better news. #LochHavenProblems RT @Matt_Digby90: Redhawks OC John Klacik also out #MAC
— Rob Cornelius (@robcwv) October 6, 2013
I'm not sure John Klacik should ever coach another football game again, at any level

Of course an 0-5 start offers plenty of reasons to fire your coach:

With a game against UMass this Saturday, Miami is in the market for a new coach. Several names started to pop up almost immediately.

Please MSU, please. @ChrisVannini: Miami (OH) dismisses HC Don Treadwell and OC John Klacik.

"@joerexrode: Tough day for Treadwell family as former MSU OC Don Treadwell is fired at Miami, Ohio." Bring him back to MSU!!!!!
— Allison Adams (@Allison0408) October 6, 2013
To me, it's a no brainer to bring back Don Treadwell as the OC for MSU
— Andrew Erdman (@AndrewJErdman) October 6, 2013
But wait, Miami has already named an interim head coach, tabbing former RedHawks quarterback and current QB/receivers coach as the man tasked with trying to salvage this season:
Rumor mill says that Mike Bath will serve as interim Head Coach. Great decision. Bath was MU's QB in late 90s and posted a 23-10 record.

"@PWCurran: Mike Bath named interim HC at Miami (OH). Go Redhawks." @CoachBath congrats coach!!!

RedHawks name Mike Bath interim head football coach. Helped shape ol' Zac Dysert into the 7th-round pick he'd become
