While all the attention this time of the year centers around "March Madness" and the excitement of the NCAA tournament -- and with great reason -- there is yet another madness: the firing of coaches. For us in the business it is a very difficult time because many of those coaches that are fired are friends -- we know them, and their families. If you are in the business long enough, some of those being shown to the unemployment line are your former players.
Please know that I'm not saying there aren't situations where a change in leadership is needed. It happens. But we are in a microwave society where we want coaches fired in the middle of the season because they are in a three-game losing streak. Coaches are getting fired with winning records...because they can't "win the big one."
