The only way it would ever make sense is if the coach actually did something terrible to warrant it. It's too short a tournament to be logical to completely overhaul things at the last second. Kind of the same rationale of why you never see coaching changes during the playoffs.
Raimo Summanen almost accomplished this.
"Summanen coached the Finnish National Team to a 2nd place finish in the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. However, his reported abrasiveness with players and management led to his dismissal. Even during Finland's successful World Cup performance, defenceman Janne Niinimaa left the team after "conflicts with the coaching staff." He also had a testy relationship with the national team's manager, Timo Jutila."
