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.
