Firing Season: The Untimely Demise of a College Football Head Coach
Job security in sports is a joke. Plain and simple. They love you, then hate you, and if you manage to survive the hate, they love you again. In a "What Have You Done For Me Lately" business ruled by that cliche', you'd be hard-pressed to find a profession in this country with more turnover than coaching in sports, particularly in football.
