can anyone dig up that chart showing the schools with the most coaching changes during beamer's tenure? I want to say the top one was 7, but I could be wrong.

Can't pull the direct number, but there was a stat/article about winning a title within 3 years for a "new" coach.
Post-Bowden winning in 1999...
2000 Oklahoma 13-0 Bob Stoops (2nd)
2001 Miami 12-0 Larry Coker (1st)
2002 Ohio State 14-0 Jim Tressel (2nd)
2003 USC 12-1 Pete Carroll (3rd)
LSU 13-1 Nick Saban (4th)
2004 USC 11-0 Pete Carroll (4th - repeat)
2005 Texas 13–0 Mack Brown (7th year)
2006 Florida 13–1 Urban Meyer (2nd)
2007 LSU 12–2 Les Miles (3rd)
2008 Florida 13–1 Urban Meyer (4th - repeat)
2009 Alabama 14–0 Nick Saban (3rd)
2010 Auburn 14–0 Gene Chizik (2nd)
2011 Alabama 12–1 Nick Saban (5th - repeat)
2012 Alabama 13–1 Nick Saban (yeah, we get it)
2013 Florida State 14–0 Jimbo Fisher (4th)
2014 Ohio State 14–1 Urban Meyer (3rd)

Also note that every one of those schools won a title pre-BCS too. During the BCS-era (and last year) there were only 2 schools that broke into the title game that had not previously won a title; Oregon and VT.

Additionally important is not just "current" tenure, but a similar graphic which shows how long a coach was at a school before they left, retired, or were fired. This could be done for changes over the past 5 years for it to be pertinent.
A comparison of that with this graphic would be telling.

USC is on coach #9, sort of.
Pitt and Florida are on 8.
And how many national championships do they have in that time? Just goes to show that not everybody needs coaching stability.

In other words, hire Nick Saban.

And VT was the only one with a small athletic budget.
Just 1 from the AP in 2003 where LSU won the BCS National Championship.
I love that Frank single handily almost doubles the length of the x-axis
that's what she said
and Frank said "What do you mean 'almost'?"

I wonder how many of those long tenured coaches are in the ACC? At this point, I think CPJ, Cut, Dabo, Fisher all make it for long standing...
VT - Beamer 29
GT - Johnson 8
Duke - Cutcliff 8
Clemson - Swinney 7 (plus interim time)
FSU - Fisher 6
UVA - London 6
UNC - Fedora 4
Syracuse - Shafer 3
NC State - Doeren 3
BC - Addazio 3
Louisville - Petrino 2 current, 6 total
Wake - Clawson 2
Pitt - Narduzzi 1
Miami - no one
Assuming Wikipedia is correct....
