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.
UTEP 2014–2015
UL Monroe 2020–2020
Median of those still in the job, that year of a tenure. A shrinking pool, not a path.
UTEP, 2 years
+39.8
24.6 to 64.5 percentile.
Median defensive coordinator
+1.0
first season to last, across 239 stints of 3+ years. 52.3% improve at all.
Every stop on the calendar
| Years | Program | Walked into | Year 1 | Best | Vs. talent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014–2015 | UTEP | no record | 24.6 | 64.5 | +33.6 |
| 2020–2020 | UL Monroe | 9.6 | 2.0 | 2.0 | −36.1 |
No prior-season record for the first stop (UTEP, 2014) — the data floor starts there.
UL Monroe 2020–2020: ranked 10th the year before he arrived, 2nd at its best — went backwards.
