Has there ever been a head coach fired that never had a losing season?

This is just a question out of pure curiosity, has nothing to do with Les Miles or the current situation of the program. Just can't think of a head coach that was let go without ever having a losing season.

2011: 9-4
2012: 10-4

Not at a school that could live with finishing second more than a few games a year. Curry at Bama

Did Larry Coker at Miami have a losing season?

Larry Coker maybe?

Coker went 7-6 his last year, but it doesn't look like he actually had a losing season at the U.
Guess there is more than I was expecting.

Bill Curry, Alabama. Alabama had share of SEC title in 1989 and he was still fired. If memory serves correct he never beat Auburn while at Bama or only did it once. On way out, Curry claimed he got death threats and a rock thrown through the window of his house.

Not sure but the former longtime HC at Syracuse (name escapes me) was there for around 15 years and was fired after one losing season.
Maybe David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss? Ironically, he was replaced with Orgeron.
