This romanticized view ignores how that exact "institutional knowledge" model held programs back for decades. The data shows staff continuity has zero correlation with modern championship success. Look at the last 10 national champions, their average assistant coach tenure was under 3 years before winning it all. The idea that a coach being "part of the bricks" matters more than acquiring top talent is why so many programs got passed by. Florida State's own resurgence was built by aggressively using the portal to fix immediate needs, something a stagnant staff could never do. The 90s are over. The game has changed. Wisconsin's own recent struggles prove clinging to the past doesn't work. Winning now requires adapting quickly, not venerating legacy. The "revolving door" brings in fresh ideas and better recruiters, which is why teams that embrace it are winning more games. Sentiment doesn't win championships, elite players do, and the best way to get them is to constantly upgrade your coaching staff.
