Eli5: How does a sports team (NHL hockey team) fire a coach who is currently under contract?

399 viewsOther

I’m a hockey fan and my team, the Pittsburgh penguins, are circling the drain and as usual, the fans are calling for the coach to be fired. If I remember correctly his contract doesn’t expire until 2028, so in my head he can’t leave until that’s not an option. How does he actually get fired if they were to do that? Is it as simple as telling him to pack his desk up and leave? Or is there negotiations with lawyers?

My dream job is to be a fired major sports head coach. Unless you commit some sort of crime, that contract money gets paid so they basically will be paying you to NOT work for them anymore.
