Another one bites the dust.

Couldn't even wait till the season played out? He pissed off the wrong people I guess.
Welcome to the new College Football, win and win soon or else.
No time like the present to make a change, not like he is going to turn it around the last 2 games.
And the way these Coaches Contracts are done it possibly could save them a little money plus they get a head start on other Schools looking to make a change but are waiting until the Season ends.

I think if Arkansas waits till the end of the Season to fire him they save a few Million Dollars vs letting him go now and I think thats what they are doing.

Makes me think of Moneyball. I wonder if people are starting to do analytics and see that you know the value of a coach almost immediately. Therefore, it's best to get rid of a poor performer immediately.

2000 - Stoops (2nd year)
2001 - Larry Coker (1st year)
2002 - Tressel (2nd year)
2003 - Saban (3rd year)
2004 - Carroll (already)
2005 - Mack Brown (8th year)
2006 - Urban Meyer (2nd year)
2007 - Les Miles (3rd year)
2008 - Urban Meyer (already)
2009 - Saban (3rd year)
2010 - Gene Chizik (2nd year)
2011 - Saban (already)
2012 - Saban (already)
2013 - Fisher (4th year)
2014 - Urban Meyer (3rd year)
2015 - Saban (already)
2016 - Swinney (8th year)
2017 - Saban (already)
2018 - Swinney (already)
2019 - Orgeron (3rd year)
2020 - Saban (already)
2021 - Kirby Smart (6th season)
2022 - Smart (already)

So 14 new coaches (to the team) winning the last 23 championship games.

Average Tenure to Championship = 3.6 years
Median Tenure to Championship = 3 years
Max Tenure = 8 years
Min Tenure = 1 year

Are you sure analytics have figured all this out? The algorithm is in saban's vault. 😉
