Hmm... How true is this?
How many college softball coaches with winning records get fired each year? Heck, how many college softball coaches at the D1 level get fired each year, period?
I could be wrong, but it really feels like at most schools, the success of the softball program isn't important enough for ADs to churn through coaches unless the team is just dreadful or there is some kind of scandal. That's certainly not true of the Oklahomas and UCLAs of the world, but I get that sense that at 90% of P5 schools, if your team wins its fair share of games and makes a Regional every so often, you can probably coach there for a long, long time.
Well said.
The first example that comes to mind is the bottom of the Big Ten. Some of those coaches never win conference titles and rarely if ever make the postseason and keep their jobs.
