This is pure facts.My Year 2 hypothesis involved coaches at marquee programs. If you're a coach at a marquee program and don't have a significant turnaround or have the program humming by year 2, then the chances are you'll never get that marquee program where it belongs.
As a P5 coach, if you don't win at the very least 9 games within the first 3 years of you being there you're going to fail.
Year 2 is the jump year, by year 3 you should be contending on a regular basis if you're worth your weight in salt.
There's just no arguing it, good coaches find a way to win & win fast, it doesn't take 4-5 years to put together a winning season when you're at P5 program, especially when you have access to great talent.
If you're in the middle of Midwest bubblefúck then yeah it might take a few years, but if you're at prestigious marquee schools that always have good recruits, you get 3 years to turn it around into a winner or else you're probably never going to get that plane off the ground.
