Yes, I posted that article earlier in this thread. 
A quote from it-

I’m not saying that Taylor was necessarily destined to be a longtime fixture at the U — However, had the literal perfect job opportunity not arisen for him, he’d be back on the hill as Kyle Whittingham’s offensive coordinator in 2019.

Seems far from being fired. Don't think the distinction is just pedantic.

You and I apparently read the article quite differently. In the same article it is clearly and unambiguously pointed out that the OL coach was now on an equal level to Taylor. The statement that "had the literal perfect job opportunity not arisen for him, he’d be back on the hill as Kyle Whittingham’s offensive coordinator in 2019" is the authors assertion contradicted (by the author pointing out) Taylor took a cut in pay to accept his new job. It is clear from the article that Taylor was no longer the OC at Utah. While he possibly would still be employed there, he didn't have the job he was originally hired to do. IMO, that is being "fired".

This is not to say being "fired" is always bad. You may be justifiably aggrieved by the fact you weren't allowed to install your own offensive system. You may have been told you would be, but that didn't happen. However, you are still fired.
