The coaching jobs that deserve a little bit more patience from the start

A few years ago on “Podcast Ain’t Played Nobody,” Bill Connelly and I started playing with the idea of linear time. Specifically, we were arguing that some programs with first-year coaching staffs needed a designation that would beg fans and boosters (and critics at large) for a greater patience than the usual concessions granted a team in “Year One.”

“Year Zero” was born out of the accepted idea that not all first seasons are remotely equal. Yet it’s hard to tack down a single metric that explains why. Maybe your new staff faces a ridiculous schedule in a particularly deep conference or division. Maybe your program has been historically underfunded and had no recruiting success. Maybe your roster was decimated via NCAA probation, or by hiring Bobby Petrino.
