I've only seen 100's of coaches fired and new ones hired in my lifetime. If memory serves me correct they fired the loser and attempted to hire a proven winner. It has always seemed an easy concept to me, but firing Al requires a astro phenomenon anomaly pulsar quasar planetary alignment on the 6th day of the 6th month in an odd year on the Christian calendar from the Old Testament. What the ****! fire his *** and hire Butch or Schiano already!!!!!!!
Not many coaches have been fired before their fifth year, without some sort of major controversy or a losing season or two.
Golden hasn't had a losing season (although it sure feels like it).
