per Solomon:
Be careful, college football recruits. As you decide where to sign next week, just understand the head coach or assistant you're really close to on National Signing Day is unlikely to stick around for your entire college career.
Of the 650 head coaches and assistants who were coaching at current Power Five schools in 2011, 66 percent of them left the staff by 2015, according to a CBS Sports analysis of team rosters. Northwestern is the only Power Five team to keep its entire coaching staff intact from 2011-15, a period that represents the typical length of a college player's career.
Forty-two percent of Power Five head coaches changed jobs within those four years. For the head coaches who stayed in place between 2011-15, 48 percent of their assistants left during that period.
A recruit is basically flipping a coin on signing day that the assistant who recruited him will be around for his entire college career. Assistants tend to have the tightest bonds with recruits. Players get wooed for months and years and forge relationships that strongly help determine where they sign.
Not surprisingly, the SEC -- with its enormous salaries and expectations -- had the largest turnover among all head coaches and assistants (72 percent) between 2011 and 2015. ACC schools changed 69 percent of their coaches, followed by the Big 12 (67 percent), Big Ten (61 percent) and Pac-12 (60 percent).
