Imagine if you had a significant other, and you received an e-mail from him/her about your relationship. Now imagine it was even worse than a break-up letter; imagine it went straight past the inevitable end of the relationship and started outlining whom he/she wanted to be with next. Now you know how Morgan State football coach Donald Hill-Eley feels. Per the Baltimore Sun:

Morgan State football coach Donald Hill-Eley said he might soon be out of a job after he accidentally received an e-mail earlier this week outlining the university's plans to seek a replacement.

Hill-Eley, who has led the Bears to a 54-69 record in 11 seasons, said he hadn't heard anything official from the university as of this morning despite receiving the e-mail on Tuesday evening.

"I don't know what's going on," Hill-Eley said when reached today on his cell phone. A university spokesman said he had no immediate comment about Hill-Eley's status.

Seriously? That's just the worst.
