The 2003 Red Sox lose that tight ALCS to the Yankees. What did they do? They fired Grady Little. What happened in 2004? They won it all.
The 2003 Florida Marlins fired Jeff Torborg and installed Jeff McKeon. We all know what happened after that.
Last year the Brewers had no shame in firing their manager, when they started to falter a bit at the end of the season. They ended up winning the Wild Card.
I'm sure there are other examples...<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

There are so many more examples of managers being fired mid-season and the team sucks as bad as they had been with the new manager.
