That's what 10% of college athletics departments at big football schools say every year. It doesn't matter whether the coach has been there one or five years. The football team is not winning. We must win so that the money will keep coming in. We can't fire the students on the team. Ergo, the coach must go.
Firing the coach costs money, big money in these days when the average big-time coach makes $1,640,000 per year. Tennessee will pay its ex-coach $5,000,000. Auburn will pay its ex-coach $7,500,000. Is it a smart investment? Not necessarily as at least one study has shown that the new coach doesn't do any better.
