Muschamp, Kiffin, and Orgeron are all retreads. That's 3 in one conference.
In reality, Jimbo Fisher is as well; he was going to get fired at Florida State if he stayed there (as the past 2 seasons that got Willie Taggart fired was actually the result of Jimbo's mess). He figured this out and got the heck out of dodge before it could happen.
So I don't think the OP's assertion is true. There are probably some "retreads" who were unfairly judged (I'd argue Taggart fits into that category), others who have gotten better as they've gotten old (Kiffin, Orgeron), others that were rightly fired but still get 2nd chances (e.g. Muschamp, Ron Zook), and then others that will rightly never get a 2nd chance.
