Coach,

I saw your comment on coaching changes and this is the info I have:

Percentage of Coaching Changes
Years
DI

DIII

This can be interpreted as 20 percent of the DI head coaches will change jobs in the first year.  35 percent will change jobs after 2 years.  In other words, if you sign up two years in advance of starting college, there is a 70% chance of ending with a different coach than you were recruited by.   Obviously some schools change coaches more frequently than others so this is just the average.  I don’t have stats on the assistant coaches but they change much more frequently.

This is why the standard advice is to make sure you would be happy with your college, even if the coach who recruited you were not there.
