They gave Eli a chance at a graceful exit and he declined.
There's nothing graceful about being demoted to part-time work after being the head man for over 35 years. And saying he could "still call A-Day" is a tremendous slap in the face after everything he had done for the university and the community. Color me biased because I had personal and professional interactions with the man when I was a student at Alabama. Perhaps he became a dick in recent years but when I dealt with him back in 2009 he was nothing short of wonderful and accommodating.

I was watching a video replay of a call he made in a game this year. Our color guy was looking out the window at the field and Eli was sitting in a chair making the call while watching it on a TV monitor. Did anyone else see this? Did he call all his games that way this year? If so could this be one of the factors that lead for the change. I liked listening to Eli but TV was my number one choice and I am not smart enough to sync up the radio to the TV.

So the only option is to let him just keep going until he says so? That’s ridiculous considering how far he had slipped.
He benefited a lot more from his association with Alabama than the other way around. He got endorsements, book deals, radio shows, etc. because he was the voice of Alabama. It’s a slap in the face that he would immediately shite on the school that gave him a job and a legacy for 35 years.
