For us we don’t have a lot of great examples of this but the best one is probably how Earle Bruce was let go. I understood why because recruiting was severely falling off under him towards the end and Cris Carter getting himself declared ineligible in '87 cut the legs out from under the team and exposed how talent-deficient they were (hence why Ohio State was a below .500 team during Cooper’s first season) but our president going over the AD’s head to fire him at the time created all sorts of controversy and led to the AD resigning in protest (and Bruce winning his last game ever at Ohio State against our rivals in Ann Arbor only made the decision more head-scratching at the time).
