When a coaching situation is broken enough to get someone fired in the middle of the season, the interim staff is at an extreme disadvantage from an administrative standpoint.
Tasks need to be delegated. Leftover voices need to be aligned. Egos need to be sorted out in a hurry.
But from an emotional standpoint, there is an advantage. There is an immediate, collective lift when the perceived problem is gone. This was no doubt the case in Cleveland this year, when the Browns fired both head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley eight weeks into the 2018 season.
