So any tenured coaches left in the AAC?

JFC,

Three in one season!

And the season isn't over

The average tenure in the AAC will be 3 years if this trend continues. Which will mean that there will be more opportunities to screw up your program as you have to keep hiring new head coaches. At some point you'll screw up.

The AAC is now where top P-5 offensive and defensive coordinators go for their 3-year apprenticeships.

Pretty much.

Just another reason it will be harder to get recruits to come to a G5 school.

Just another part of the P-5 business plan. Raiding coaches assures that 5 stars only consider their schools.

Why buy the milk each week when you can own the cow?

Why buy a cow for 30 million dollars when it's easier to steal the milk?

(Why pay $30m to have teams join big12 when you can steal their coaches?)

Because money is what they got and national championships is what billionaire donors feel they are entitled to. Look how Oklahoma, Florida State, Ohio State, and now Penn St. rose back to the top merely by hiring a coach. Instant fix. Expansion by adding Houston and a central Florida school only gets your conference great coaches for the other teams.

I say we start scheduling the bottom feeders of the P-5 conferences and rack up the wins.

Most won't play us (too risky), and few will agree to a home and away (then they cancel the @UCF end). Maryland a rare exception. Now the P-5 is trying to discourage their scheduling more than one G-5 team per season. In fact, the Big Ten pursues your approach in reverse by feeding off the nearby MAC pushovers.

Anyone have a list of HC stolen away since the AAC was founded?

I call bullshit on the too scared to play us. Ask NC state, south Carolina, Texas and Miami..who beat us on multiple occasions.

We were talking about bottom dwellers in the P-5 conferences, not Texas or Miami. S. Carolina only lately became bad. Same with Mizzou. We did beat NC State away (Kevin's TD run first play from scrimmage). We also played K State away. We've never played a Duke, Vandy, Wake Forest, Iowa St. type teams. Near upsets ("moral victories") in the mid-90s scared most away since.

So this season, Iowa State played N. Iowa and San Jose State OOC (weak G-6)
Duke played N. Carolina Central, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Army (the only G-6 school)
Wake Forest played Tulane, Delaware, Army, and Indiana
Note how they avoid G-6 and then only the perennially weaker ones
