Sincere question: are there examples of when firing a staff, of a bottom-tier team, mid-season helped accelerate a turn-around? (alien.top)

I’m struggling with this one. Obviously I want this coaching staff gone, but what benefit does letting them go now bring? Would love to hear about past successes if anyone has any.

Browns went 5-3 after getting rid of Hue Jackson who was 3-36-1. Didn't do much for the Browns long term though. I don't think getting rid of Flus now does much, and expect that he's likely gone right after the season if the Bears are moving on from him.

I mean, they beat the Steelers 2 years later to end their playoff win drought.

Then they ran baker out of town to pick up a rapist and are wasting a super bowl caliber defense.

It very much did good in the long term.

Getting rid of the coaches lets the players know that losing is unacceptable and there will be consequences for it. Keeping the staff allows that losing culture to stay. Which i believe is 1 of our biggest issues.
