The scene in Oxford over the last week has been an interesting one, to say the least.

After announcing his decision to step down at the end of the season just a week ago, Andy Kennedy lasted two games before leaving the Ole Miss basketball program for good over the weekend. The decision came following a poor showing in a 79-62 loss to Mississippi State in Starkville.

Ole Miss is currently on a seven-game losing streak and has lost 11 of its previous 14 games. The Rebels currently sit dead-last in the SEC with a 4-10 conference record and an 11-16 overall mark.

Despite what Kennedy would have you believe, SEC Network host Paul Finebaum isn’t buying the former Ole Miss coach’s statements over the last week. During his weekly Monday morning appearance on WJOX 94.5 FM program The Opening Drive, Finebaum said it was clear that Kennedy was fired by his former employer.

Here’s what Finebaum had to say when asked to share his thoughts on the end of Kennedy’s 12-year run in Oxford.

“I read into this that he probably should have stepped down effective immediately a week ago,” Finebaum said. “We all like Andy Kennedy but he was talking out of two sides of his mouth last Monday. He was fired. He was given the opportunity to go out gracefully and unfortunately he didn’t. The last two games were embarrassing, and I don’t really know what happened — whether Andy had it in him to go to his bosses for the second time in a week, in his words, and say ‘this isn’t working.’

“I think it goes for all of us. I’ve actually worked after I’ve announced I was leaving and it’s, not for long by the way, but it’s difficult. The players, instead of deciding to see if we can dig down and make one last run for our coach, they just rolled over like the lead dog at the Westminster Dog Show. It was pretty sad to watch Saturday night. Whoever made this decision made the right one, he needed to go.”
