Okay, so today I decided to dig into this whole “football coaches fired” thing. It’s always a hot topic, right? Coaches getting the boot left and right. I wanted to see if I could put together a list, maybe track some patterns, you know?
First, I started by just hitting up the usual spots – you know, the big sports news sites. I figured they’d have the most up-to-date info on who’s been canned recently.
Then, I opened up a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just something to keep track of the names, teams, and dates. I figured this would be way easier than trying to remember everything in my head.
Getting My Hands Dirty
I spent a good chunk of time just browsing articles and press releases. It’s kind of a messy process, honestly. One site might have some info, another might have a different angle. I tried to cross-reference everything to make sure I wasn’t getting bad data.
- Column 1: Coach’s Name (Pretty obvious, right?)
- Column 2: Team Name (Gotta know who they were leading…or not leading anymore.)
- Column 3: Date Fired (This seemed important for tracking trends.)
- Column 4: Reason (This one was tricky, lots of “mutual agreement” type stuff, but I tried to get the real dirt when I could.)
I filled in the spreadsheet as I went, slowly building up my list. It’s definitely not complete – there’s always some coach getting fired somewhere – but it’s a start.
Honestly, the hardest part was figuring out the “why.” Sometimes it’s super clear (like, the team lost every single game), but other times it’s all behind-the-scenes drama. I did my best to summarize what I could find, but I’m sure there’s a lot more to the story in many cases.
So, that’s where I’m at. It’s a work in progress, for sure. But it’s been kind of interesting to see it all laid out in one place. Maybe I’ll keep adding to it, see if any patterns emerge over time. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become the go-to guy for fired football coach info! (Probably not, but a guy can dream, right?)
