I thought the guy should have had to issue an apology, but that's about it. The malice people went after this guy with is crazy. I don't think I could ever be ok with intentionally getting some guy fired because he made a comment on FB that I found offensive.
That guy got himself fired with little to no help from TexAgs. Part of the job of an assistant athletic director is to manage PR. This was a massive failure of judgement on his part. This wasn't the only questionable Facebook post he dropped. He had to learn the hard way that when you are representing a major institution you don't get to say whatever the hell you want in public without repercussions. It also probably did not help his cause with his boss that TCU is one of the few Big 12 schools that has been actively discussing with A&M the possibility of a series. Insulting potential partners is about one of the dumbest things you could do in business.

Wait, why would we do that? Why give them a platform to compete for recruits?

RC, have you had any progress with regards to your Wikipedia efforts?

Im pretty sure that if that other site hadn't made the fuss they made, it would have gone unnoticed. I mean, some of those guys on that other site cried to the media and called the TCU AD office non stop on Friday. They did all they could to get him fired.
The guy did use bad judgment, but he didn't deserve to be fired. I've seen some fellow Ags do some awful stuff in the real world, but its sickening to see it online from a mob of Ags where the whole world can see it.
