Auburn hasn't had the same DC for 4 consecutive years since 1995

My Auburn grad buddy called me to catch up last night. We had a good conversation about family and future plans and stuff. Eventually the conversation turned to football, as it usually does - and he expressed to me his frustrations with the rotating door of defensive coordinators. He told me this trivia fact about the last time Auburn had a defensive coordinator that had been there for at least 4 years was 1995, and I didn't believe him at first. Sure enough, he was right. Crazy.

Those Auburn defenses in the late-80s were no joke. That '88 defense was especially nasty.

I really don't think this is especially unusual.

I think 4 years is a very long time for a major university coordinator.

I'll agree that we need some stability in that position, but the schools with long time stability at an OC or DC position are the rare exception rather than the rule. That being said, it'd be nice for a guy to stick around 3 years or so.

Hey, next season, you think you can post great places to eat, park etc...
That would be great for visiting fans.

We could say that they are gay, but get the Gump outta here

That's not really unusual

if your defensive coordinator does a good enough job he'll get a HC offer somewhere. If he sucks he'll get fired, in order to be a 4 year coordinator you need to be good, but not too good. I forgot about ellis johnson. That guy did good at SC, i dont know what happened with him there.

Are you Aubsessed or what? We must really be in your head. That's all you do is post about us. I thought your team was in the playoff, still thinking about us, unreal.

Add South Carolina and Tennessee.
ETA: Not sure about that time frame. Was thinking Johnson at USCe and Chavis at UT.

Not that surprising when you consider their HC turnover

Earthshattering news. BTW, please stop with the relentless lurking of our board, you're getting your microdick pecker tracks all over the place.

Updated my list. Seems that it is more common than not to have a four year DC sometime in the past decade.
