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.

No prior-season record for the first stop (Minnesota, 2014) — the data floor starts there.

Kent State 2023–2023: ranked 58th the year before he arrived, 6th at its best — went backwards.
