I would be surprised if people could cite examples of college teams
that fired assistant coaches mid-season and saw ANY improvement during
that season. 

I doubt it happens with head coaches, either.  I wonder if anyone has 
stats on how often interim head coaches gets promoted to full-time head 
coach (either mid-season or afterwards), and how successful they are?

Moreover, are there top-of-the-line assistant coaches out there 
(eg, assistant coaches worth having) just sitting around waiting 
for a mid-season phone call?  Kinda doubt it.
