Did RU fire him or did he resign as head coach to take an assistant role at Unc?

As I recall, he resigned - he & his wife made a planned move to North Carolina - but there was no indication that he had already secured a position.
Am unaware of any issues. Also - remember he left the position of Head Coach of the Women's team - and is now assistant in a Mens & Womens program
 
Most swim coaches want to coach at a school that is at least a contender for the conference title. While we have been conditioned to think our womens team is good, compared to National powers like UMich our team has a LONG way to go. Its almost a rebuild and its good to get a new coach at RU and good for Spaniello to get a better job at UNC.
 
It will be nearly impossible for RU to compete at the top level without offering a men's program as well as women's. Many young female swimmers are simply not looking for a female-only environment...
 
Men's Swimming should be the first sport brought back if there are plans to do such.
