As I've noted, there really aren't many/any "Sure Fire" coaches lingering about ESPN or Miami U. or SDSU or elsewhere today.  You're taking a flyer in effect on someone who might be no better than average, or even what you have now.  How much better is Vandy going to be with a GREAT coach, and if they found one, how long would he stay around?

Auburn seems primed to go after Hugh Freeze, which is absolutely perfect.

The reasons I'd fire a coach:

1.  For cause, like if he drove a motorcycle with a coed on the back and had an accident.  (If he didn't get caught, well, OK.)

2.  Lack of effort on the part of the coach.

3.  The team just quits on him.

4.  The team has consistent "issues" with discipline on and off the field, as in they throw a shoe downfield and get a critical game changing penalty or something.

5.  He is bizarre and not funny, like showing up for a presser dressed in some face mask thing like DV.

6.  Lack of a sense of humor.

7.  Bizarre recruiting practices, like anything involving a player's bedroom in any sense.

8.  Saying really stupid stuff at pressers, like how some other team should not be this or that after losing.

Insane that they fired him and paying him out a $21.5 million buyout- this doesn’t include any of the assistant buy outs. 

Auburn spending all this money to change its coach during a pandemic is coo-coo.

Isn't liberty a faith based school?If so it seems odd they'd hire guys with specific baggage

Liberty is decidedly in the Righteous Gemstone camp of faith.

I'd guess they have the liberty to hire someone not exactly pristine.

Said another way, how many of the fairly recent coaching hires have worked out for the better?

Some have, no doubt, but what are your odds?

You must live life with your eyes closed and ears plugged.  It seems PREDICTABLE they'd hire a guy with that baggage.
