Over the next two weeks, Insider is assessing the stability of the coaching situation for each team in the top 10 leagues in college basketball. Next up: the American Athletic Conference.
The league has a couple of newcomers with Tubby Smith (Memphis) and Mike Dunleavy Sr. (Tulane) and a recent coaching change after Larry Brown stepped away. It also has a couple coaches who will feel significant pressure to win this season -- and a few more who are aging.
These rankings go in descending order, from least to most stable. Keep in mind that stability is not solely determined by whether a program will want to part ways with its head coach if there are perceived failings; often, success will make it difficult, if not impossible, for a program to keep a coach from leaving for a seemingly better job.
