It’s an idea that 100% varies by school, and to varying degrees of importance.

E.g. Ohio State last won it in 2014 season, and have been extremely good still since then, even on the cusp of winning more titles at several times since. And yet we’re hearing (whether valid or not) Ryan Day already being tossed around on hot seat lists due in part to not crossing the threshold and bringing another trophy home.

Another pair of teams, 2010 Auburn & 2019 LSU, both won Natty’s only to see their title winning coaches fired within two more seasons.

And then there’s the Bob Stoops types of the world, where they won a chip, didn’t ever win another one over a long tenure, but were still competitive enough and close enough that it was never a reason to fear for their job.

It’s abstract question with a rambling description, but at your school what is the shelf life of a championship? Is it the expectation? Does it get your guy a statue and a lifetime contract, even if every subsequent year is <.500? Just curious.
