To get answers, I looked at every major-conference head-coaching hire since 2000, a total of 200 personnel selections by athletic directors over the course of 19 hiring cycles. Here's what I found.
Since 2000, 35 percent of head coaches hired at major-conference programs have eventually been fired from that same position.
Of the coaches who have been fired from a major-conference position since 2000, the average length of service clocks in at 5.2 years.
Just 9 percent of major-conference hires since 2000 have been fired after three seasons or less, and, even among coaches who are fired, a mere 26 percent are let go after such a short time.
