Was thinking about this just now.
Some folks including the LSU admins see firing Les in midseason as "ripping off the Band-Aid, getting it done, moving forward" and so forth. Painful and momentarily disruptive, but the coaching staff gets the players re-focused and busy and they move on. Usually sounds worse than it is. Sort of like a company firing a CEO or CFO or top brass.
Some folks see it as good, others see it as terrible.
A football player leaves mid-season because it's clear to him that he's not in the picture, even if the coaches maintain (publicly) that he is. He believes he's put in the time, work, etc., and for whatever reason it's not in the cards for him. Or he has something else going on -- perhaps a girlfriend, fiancee, etc. across the country -- and just believes it's best to make a change.
Some folks shrug and say OK, but a lot of us (me included) look at him as a quitter. All he sees is, like the LSU admins, that it's time to make a change right now and not drag it out.
Why the disparity?
