Well, it is time-stamped well after Walters was let go and Lubick was hired. However, you can't believe everything on the internet so good for you waiting for reliable sources.
Glad no staff movement this offseason

Hm. No employer wants to keep an unwilling employee normally but fired = let go. Often it’s sorry you’re leaving us but wish you well.
The timing (shortness in this case apparently) suggests to me as a complete outsider that Walters indeed was keeping his future options open to greener pastures for awhile. It’s too bad for both parties as the NU job is a very
good one that paid VERY well imo.
Whether Walters is HC material remains to be seen. He seems to feel confident in himself but his pressers weren’t all that impressive though it’s likely he felt he had to be submissive to Frost and maybe not speak as freely as he would have preferred. He never seemed to play the OC role all that publicly really so maybe he felt he was more symbolic in that sense. Just a guess and not being critical as to any of this. I liked him and feel he represented the program and school well. Really all Frost’s coaches seem to have done likewise.
College coaching is a big game of musical chairs. Most resumes are replete with numerous brief stints (1 or 2 years or so) all over. Great for experience and diversity but not so much as to loyalty and stability. Players may prefer some consistency as opposed to a bunch of changes. Eventually they all need to learn to cope with change - a career will be filled with abrupt changes etc.

More than anything it’s affirmation we made the right move with Walters. No one else wants him either

Pretty obvious now that he and DeWitt had been fired unofficially for a while but we held-off on making things public in hopes of both finding a soft landing. Walters didn't find one and we had to pull the plug to get Lubick on-board.
