A look at coaches or managers who, after being hired, have either resigned or been fired before coaching a game:
Bill Belichick, Jets
Hired: Jan. 3, 2000; Resigned: Jan. 4, 2000
Belichick scribbled on a napkin that he was resigning as the “HC of the NYJ” just minutes before a press conference naming him as head coach of the Jets. After delivering a half-hour speech declaring his reasons for departing, Belichick eventually bolted for the Patriots.
Wally Backman, Diamondbacks
Hired: Nov. 1, 2004; Fired: Nov. 4, 2004
