    UAB fired football coach Neil Callaway on Sunday, a day after the Blazers lost to Florida Atlantic 38-35 to finish the season with a 3-9 record.

    Callaway, who had an 18-42 record in five seasons with the Blazers, told ESPN.com that UAB athletic director Brian Mackin fired him during a meeting Sunday morning.

    "I really appreciate the opportunity to be a head coach," Callaway said. "I appreciate the players and coaches for all their hard work. I wish we would have won more ballgames, but under the circumstances, I think we did a pretty good job."
