The words "college football" and "stability" don't go together all that well. Such is life when your livelihood is based on the whims of a pointy ball, eccentric boosters and a bunch of 18- to 22-year-old players. In this sport, drama is never far from the surface and a conference realignment earthquake -- OU and Texas to the SEC, anyone? -- always seems to loom on the horizon.
That said, stability still exists in some forms for some teams. Stability atop your team's coaching staff can create a reliable identity. Stability on your two-deep in a given year can give you a higher floor and a greater margin for error.
