Anyone who follows college football and basketball has read of instances in which it becomes public that a struggling coach has been asked to make staff changes, and they do. AD's routinely review the performance of assistants with the head coaches, and will make recommendations of varying levels of firmness, just as a CEO does with department heads.
The more the program is struggling, the more firm the recommendation is likely to be. By the same token, if a program is doing very well, the AD is probably going to take a hands-off approach and not mess with a good thing. It's no different in that regard than any other business, really.
And, I've personally been involved in a professional capacity with a situation in which a Division I head coach was told by the AD to make staff changes. No, I can't and won't tell you what coach or what program--but if you don't realize this happens, you're not paying close attention.

Does Barta meet directly with the players without Lickliter present before the season is over, short of a meeting to inform them that their coach has been relieved of his duties and that we expect them to stay and work with the new staff?

Ron Zook immediately comes to mind.

Not really sure how to take that. You could either be comparing me to the Zooker, or the guy I quoted. Either way:

I'd never compare the Zooker to a Hawkeye fan. Just providing an example of a guy that was told to make staff changes or else, by his AD.
