Honest question: at what point is poor performance adequate enough to be fired “with cause” and not have that giant buyout? How does the revolving door of transfers affect our APR? If we aren’t winning and the athletes aren’t getting the experience they deserve, is the coach doing their job? I know if things are going downhill at my job because of my job performance, I’m getting canned without any sort of recourse and I’m a union employee.
Imagine a scenario where a coach has every resource they need: great facilities, assistants, fan support, recruiting budget, current talent and they still can’t win games or create an environment where the students athletes are staying and thriving. That feels like “cause”, doesn’t it?
