WAUD radio in Auburn received calls to their “SportsCall” show from the wives of two AU assistants shortly after the news broke that their husbands were out of work.

It’s a listen that might have you re-thinking all the times you call for a coach’s head.  There’s a lot of pain involved for assistants, wives, children, etc.

Firing a coach is never a fun thing and it’s not something to take glee in.

That said, this doesn’t mean that all coaches must be kept in place regardless of record.  Coaches know the incredible ups and downs of their business and they choose to coach at the collegiate level anyway… where they might have to uproot their families at a moment’s notice.
