AWKWARD: D1 Women's Coach Asked How She'll Rebuild, Announces She's Been Fired

Utah State coach Kayla Ard announced in the most awkward way possible she'd lost her job.

The Aggies women's basketball team finished the season with a 5-25 record after losing in the Mountain West tournament 85-49 Boise State.

It was the final game in what was a truly horrific season for Utah State. How does Ard plan on rebuilding? Well, she was asked that exact question after the loss, and gave basketball fans a painfully awkward answer that won't be forgotten at any point in the near future.

Kayla Ard announces she's been fired.

"I'm not going to be rebuilding. I just coached my last game at Utah State. I spoke with [AD] Diana [Sabau], and they're going in a different direction, and I respect her decision and I hope they get a really good coach in. I'm assuming that's going to be the last question," Ard responded with just brutal body language accompanying her comments.

You can watch the video below, and let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

That is absolutely cold. There's no other way to put it. What a brutal way to let the world know that you've lost your job. It's literally painful to watch.

Everything about this video makes me cringe. Every single second of it is incredibly uncomfortable. Look at her body language. The woman's soul has been crushed, and she was immediately asked about her plans to rebuild mere moments after being fired.

Why did she even go out to the press conference? Just pack your bag, grab a drink on your way out the door and get the hell out of there.

Instead, Kayla Ard had to face just horrible public humiliation after capping off a 5-25 season. If that's not horrible, then I simply don't know what is.

Best of luck to Ard moving forward. She deserves a very long vacation after this incident. Pour one out for her. She absolutely needs it.
