There might be a workaround to your hire/fire option 'problem.'

For one, you could try to maximize your ticket revenue -- scheduling powerhouses to beat up on you has the advantage of handing you a loss and filling seats (as well as TV audiences).

Also, a Syndicate Coordinator with Excellent fund-raising ability, but Terrible in the others may be in order. Nothing better than fielding an 0-11 Irish team, and getting millions of alumni to pony up money for it!

And last, though I hate to tread these waters, you could emphasize academics over performance. While this would do wonders in getting to the bottom of the polls, it may bring a bit too much respest to the school.

It's been brought up that coaches may not be getting job offers because they're not paying attention to the other fields besides performance. Perhaps you can avoid getting fired by paying attention to exclusively those fields.
