Fired high-major coaches that found success later

Obviously Huggins, but his firing had nothing to do with performance.

Who are some others?

Maybe it is on one of John Currie's charts. (I would LOVE to see those charts, BTW).

Altman's most significant subsequent high major achievement was this past season's trip to the NIT Quarterfinals.  His success was at a nice safe mid major.

Lavin had a ridiculously experienced roster, Gottfried is the best answer so far.

I could be wrong, but I thought he was fired at Oklahoma State.

Doug Gottlieb*

*Note: Doug Gottlieb has never been fired. Also he hasn't had success after being fired. But he would have had success if K-State had hired him.

He did get kicked off of a team and then go on to find success. I have little doubt he could accomplish the same feat in the coaching ranks.

Okay, I was wrong. Its not like he was stellar there, I couldn't remember the circumstances of him going to Miami.

Chings had a qualification about it being a performance based firing. His thread was much better that way
