The Baton Rouge paper makes it sound like a firing or she was asked to find another job. I'm guessing she is trying to land a job somewhere else, but it is awfully unusual to "step down" without having that job 100% lined up.

Brought aboard 10 years ago to enhance LSU's reputation as a women's basketball powerhouse, Nikki Fargas was a rising star, an energetic young coach with a strong record and a championship pedigree.

Fargas' tenure at LSU was instead marked by mediocrity, as the Tigers all but disappeared from the national picture, beset by dozens of disappointing losses, shortcomings in recruiting and early player departures.

Fargas stepped down from her position as the head coach of LSU women's basketball this week, according to reports, with plans to pursue a career outside of coaching.

Attempts to reach Fargas were unsuccessful Thursday. LSU spokesperson Michael Bonnette declined to comment.
