The tenure clock
Every stop re-aligned to its own first year, so the stops stack instead of scrolling past each other. The gray dashed line is a reference, not a path: each point is the median of whoever was still in the job that year, across every real OC/DC stint since 2014 at that role, and the pool shrinks year over year because surviving to a later year means not having been fired.
Akron 2014–2018
Texas 2023–2026
Median of those still in the job, that year of a tenure. A shrinking pool, not a path.
Akron, 5 years

Texas, 4 years

Every stop on the calendar
| Years | Program | Walked into | Year 1 | Best | Vs. talent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014–2018 | Akron | no record | 10.5 | 26.2 | −27.0 |
| 2023–2026 | Texas | 84.4 | 77.8 | 79.0 | +7.3 |
No prior-season record for the first stop (Akron, 2014) — the data floor starts there.
Texas 2023–2026: ranked 84th the year before he arrived, 79th at its best — went backwards.
