In all of the cases in this millennium, excluding Jackson (Mora, Rhodes, Mularkey, Cameron, Petrino, Shell), the next coach instantly improved the teams record the next season.

In three of the cases (Mora, Petrino, Cameron), the team made it to the playoffs the following year. The Packers made it to the playoffs two years after Rhodes was fired.

Marty is the only one that went one to have further success in the NFL, as he did a nice job with the Chargers.

Oh and Monte Clark,who went on to coach a decent Lions team.

As I recall, Clark was fired not for performance, but because new ownership came in and he refused to yield the power he had been given by the previous administration.
