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.

There have been some as others have listed. The reason I want it to happen is more to signify that this organization has changed and won't tolerate losing anymore. It's about sending a message to the fans, to the players, to future coaches, that this organization demands excellent and won't tolerate failure. They can scout Ben Johnson and other candidates. Watch him live in the game. They can comb through the college ranks and watch those coaches. They can see if there are any coaches worth trying to keep around. They can see how the players respond to different coaching. There may not be a direct correlation to future success by firing the head coach mid-season, but there is no downside.
