[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 131510853, member: 1476506"] I know of an AD who fired a coach that averaged 9.5 wins a year in an 11 game regular season and had his team playing in the National Title Game because as the AD said, “I refuse to let this program deep into mediocrity.” The AD fired the coach (who was a former player at that school) by putting a letter under his door saying as much. The School was Nebraska. The AD was Steve Petersen (worst AD ever—-at 2 schools on 3 occasions) and the Head Coach was Frank Solich. After that Firing, the replacement was Bill Callahan who by today’s standards at Nebraska was a coaching genius and successful icon. Just goes to show you how a bad firing (especially when you don’t even have option 1, 2, or 3 signed) can really really mess up a program. [/QUOTE]
