It’s never fun to fire a head coach. It costs the school millions of dollars, assistant coaches also get fired, players move schools. There are any number of real world downstream consequences for dozens if not hundreds of people.
As fans though, the one positive is that the coaching search itself is fun right up until a hire is actually made. Why do fans love to follow recruiting (not all of them but there’s plenty of you out there that do)? Because it provides hope. Unless you have a season like Washington Football just had, you always want to focus on the potential that tomorrow will be even better.
