He informed ESPN that he had been let go on Monday morning, two days after his team was eliminated from the CAA Tournament by Hofstra. Shortly after took to Twitter to confirm the news.
Drexel's Bruiser Flint told ESPN he has been let go. Had a long run at the school.

Flint's Drexel career comes to an end with a record of 245-217 and no NCAA Tournament appearances. The Dragons did, however, win the CAA regular season title in 2011-12 and have made multiple trips to the NITs, most recently in 2012.
In the four seasons since, they were just 46-76 and failed to finish above .500.
