So there should be no surprises then, if Orgeron goes a 4th year without any hardware to show. You simply aren't allowed half a decade to "improve" on a team that's already won 2 championships and should have won a third. Trophies should come pretty quickly at that point.

After Spurrier won an NC at UF, Zook got 3 years, Muschamp got 4, McElwain got 3.

After Mack Brown won another NC at Texas, Strong got 3 years.

After Carroll won another NC at USC, Kiffin got less than 4 years, Sarkasian 2 years, Helton now in his 4th.

After Tressel won another NC at OSU, Fickel got 1 year.

After Fulmer won another NC at Tenn, Dooley got 3 years, Jones got 4 years.

After Stallings won another NC at Bama, Dubose got 4 years, Franchione got 2 years, Shula got 3 years.


Either you can win something in 4 years, or you can't. You're not going to just eventually have things "fall into place". Woodward's an accomplished AD, he knows the stats on success and an allowable timeline.

Good analysis. I agree. Good coaches don't need 5+ years to compete at the level we aspire to compete at given our resources. Anything less than 10 wins next year will be an abject failure that should warrant change. However 11-1 with serious playoff contention should be the bar because if it doesn't happen next year, it probably isn't happening soon.

Agree with your point.

Would point out though:
- At UF Urban was between Zook and Boom.
- I thought Fickel was an interim at tOSU?
- I think Franchione left of his on accord from Bama but I don't know the whole story.
