This exactly. Cutcliffe would have been fired in the next couple of years anyway. He did great as ND's qb coach after we canned him. Lasted about a month.
he had triple bypass surgery, but yeah he just couldn't hack it at Notre Dame

Future two time super bowl mvp quarterback on the roster and we didn't even go to a bowl game his junior season.

he was an all american and a heisman finalist dude. Eli was absolutely a great college QB, he just didn't play on a great team. He won the Maxwell Award

If the criteria are 1) fired as a head coach and 2) did well at another head coaching job later, then I submit the following:
1) Rich Rodriguez (fired by Michigan, decent success at Arizona)
2) Ron Zook (fired by Florida, reasonable success at Illinois)
3) Frank Solich (fired by Nebraska, reasonable success at Ohio)
4) Tommy Tuberville (fired by Auburn, mediocre at Texas Tech, decent success at Cincinnati)
5) Ed Orgeron (fired by Ole Miss, decent success as interim at USC)

Technically, he wasn't fired by Miami. I don't think so anyway.

There is no technically about it. He wasn't fired from Miami.

What's with all this Saban being fired from Miami talk? I thought the narrative was that Saban was the devil because he quit the Miami job and went to Alabama?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Jackie Sherrill yet, unless we're using a very strict definition of "fired". MSU had been pretty awful before he arrived.

I'd also like to add Georgie O'Leary to the list. Although he wasn't fired for being a bad coach, he was still fired at Notre Dame and did go on to have a fairly successful career at UCF

I don't think you can really include guys fired in the NFL (like Stallings or Spurrier). That is a different game.
Agree on O'Leary, but like you said he wasn't fired for losing football games. He won football games everywhere he went.
