In fact, the average tenure of a Division I college football coach is 3+ years. Which means, if you're a major college prospect, there is a pretty good chance that the coaching staff who courted you won't be there to see you graduate from that university.
Translation: Make your final college decision based on the experience of the university as a whole; not based on the current coach.
This way, no matter how many coaching changes you survive (and you can bank on at least one), you're attending a school that was the best choice for you overall, regardless of who recruited you.
This recent story about former Texas Tech football coach, Tommy Tuberville, pretty much spells it out. In reality, a college coach is one better offer (or one losing season) from heading out the door.
Although, most won't depart as abruptly as Tuberville did.
