In Today's Era, When Is The Right Time To Fire Your Head Corch?

[Empirical Cane]

Barring some insane moral, illegal, or unethical scandal scenario, in today's era, the calendar (buyout clauses + other position openings) is a very important driver as to when an organization decides to move on from a head corch.

When is that time?

Mid season like with Franklin?

End of season?

1 Jan?

Other?

Whenever you can afford it. It all about the money.

Bingo.

1. After the first loss.
2. After a close win.
3. After the first questionable coaching decision.

Depends.

If you’re paying a big buyout and you have a rotten coach like Norvelll that no one wants, doesn’t matter. You can only afford a G5 start ups at that point.

In PSU’s case, earlier the better in hopes there’s a bidding war to offset that buyout.

I don't know. I do know 6 games after you went to the final four in the college football playoff is not the right time.

You don’t fire them. You get them a motorcycle and a hot young secretary

After you find yourself parked outside a Denny's.

Josh Pray would agree with that statement

Another interesting thought about possible coaching changes this off-season. Media rights deals are up in 2030, a lot of schools will want to have a coach in place and on the right trajectory before that. Making a move now puts them in Year 4 of that process..

Fall camp

After the banner plane has told you to do so

At this point nobody was gonna criticize the timing. When you have Indiana beating a playoff team and Texas tech winning and us being ranked second to the mix, it makes the dude you have coaching not smell too good.

However, they better have a really good plan in place. They risk a lot attrition from the portal and recruiting. They better have money allocated towards a top qb transfer to stabilize things and a coach that will attract one.

Or the End Zone...



Probably two of the most epic send offs....

BUT THIS IS THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL...

AL DAVIS GOING 5TH PERIOD HISTORY CLASS ON LANE...

 

[90scane]

there is no good time because of the early signing period and transfer portal dates.

It wouldn’t shock me to see a coach or two leave teams before the season ends to join new teams.

A lot of elements for AD’s to get right — especially since many wouldn’t know the difference between a good HFC and a blowhard like Tom Herman

When you already have your back channeled next HC lined up

Wait a minute. This must be why the boss tasked me with setting up the sexual harassment training this year. He's trying to Mel Tucker me!
