The firing surprised absolutely no one, which makes the nature in which it was delivered seem unnecessarily brutal. Here’s some:Advertisement— Mike Sherman learned he had been fired as Texas A&M’s head coach just as he was pulling into a recruit’s driveway in 2003. — Bob Sutton is said to have been fired as Army’s head coach on a Philadelphia street corner the day after a loss to Navy in 1999. USC fired coach Lane Kiffin early on the morning of Sept. 29, 2013, following a 62-41 loss to Arizona State. After Kiffin learned his fate, he was driven home by security and his briefcase was later delivered to him by a staff member.
