Same reason their basketball coach left.
They know the "jig is up." Their cheating, paying off of player through sports agents, etc. is over. With the recruiting advantage of overwhelming paid off talent, he's not ever going to win a National Championship again, and he knows it.
Even when he had NFL starting level QBs, receivers, key line people, all on the field at the same time, he only mustered one BCS National Championship. No coach in college has done less with that level of players.
Plus, leaving will take the heat off of further investigations.
