I thought Bob Bowlsby laid it out well when he announced Walt Harris's firing. He acknowledged that in some ways, it wasn't fair to Walt to fire him so soon, but he had to ask himself if he thought that the team was headed in the right direction. And because he didn't think the team was headed in the right direction, he fired  the worst football coach in my Stanford history and found Coach Harbaugh.

"Heading in the right direction" is a vague term, but I would imagine beyond the number of wins, it involves player development, a culture of hard work, and good game planning. Also an Enthusiasm Unknown To Man is helpful.
