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.
Hawai'i 2014–2014
Utah State 2015–2015
Oregon State 2016–2017
Median of those still in the job, that year of a tenure. A shrinking pool, not a path.

Every stop on the calendar
| Years | Program | Walked into | Year 1 | Best | Vs. talent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014–2014 | Hawai'i | no record | 25.4 | 25.4 | — |
| 2015–2015 | Utah State | 89.5 | 67.6 | 67.6 | +30.3 |

No prior-season record for the first stop (Hawai'i, 2014) — the data floor starts there.
Utah State 2015–2015: ranked 89th the year before he arrived, 68th at its best — went backwards.
