Impatience and Unrealistic Expectations............

have led to the average tenure of an NCAA Head Football Coach being 3.7 to 4 years. I know that there are some exceptions (Dabo to name one) but in these days of instant information and gratification, most fans are completely unwilling to give a coach the time to build a program. NIL and the transfer portal have magnified that impatience and multi-million dollar coaching contracts have just been like fuel on the fire. There are currently 18 former head coaches receiving buy-out payments totaling over $350 million. Seven schools in the SEC are among those and total $230 million. Orgeron and Kelly's combined were over $70 million.

I know that I am old, but I miss the days when the coaching carousal turned slowly and fans had a little endurance, especially when it came to a first year coach who came in and was faced with completely changing the culture.

I found this interesting: (Not exhaustive and feel free to add to the list)
Bobby Bowden- FSU 34 years
Woody Hayes- Ohio State 28 years
Bear Bryant- Alabama 25 years
Shug Jordan- Auburn 25 years
Vince Dooley- Georgia 25 years
Tom Osborne- Nebraska 25 years
Bo Schembechler Michigan 21 years
Darrell Royal- Texas 20 years
Terry Donahue- UCLA 20 years
Charlie Mac- LSU 18 years
Dabo Swinney- Clemson 18 years
Nick Saban- Alabama 17 years
Mack Brown- Texas 16 years
John McKay- USC 16 years
Barry Switzer- Oklahoma 16 years
Johnny Majors- Tennessee 16 years

(By the way, I intentionally left Penn State's "PaPa" off who was there 46 years.)

I believe that if LK will stay at LSU long term we will rival what NS did at Alabama!
