This is impressive and interesting. by ColoraDomer

We used to represent a few Div 1 FB, Hockey, and BB coaches. The timing goes back 15 years now, so the climate is most likely not what it is now.

One thing the Head FB coaches consistently said was that they would never fire/terminate an OC or DC unless they did something pretty bad. The rationale was that it looked bad when trying to hire the next OC/DC that there was no loyalty. I remember one season where one the def side of the ball badly underperformed when the off side of the ball over performed. This is a school where 8 or 9 wins was a fantastic season. The HC had been there 15+ years but there was immediate pressure to replace the Def staff/coordinator. This went on for 2 seasons. There were infinite meetings with the AD and the HC that were contentious, and resulted in an ultimatum to the HC. Again, this goes back more than a decade ago, but there was a different climate.

I do remember one of the HC saying, with pride, we are not like Miami. About that time, whoever the UM coach was, had replaced one or both coordinators, only to be fired the next year.
