There have been a few over the years. Just off the top of my head.

Mark Richt to Kirby Smart.
Jim Tressell to Urban Meyer to Ryan Day
Bob Stoops to Lincoln Riley
Pat Dye to Terry Bowden

You could say Bowden improved Auburn since Dye was 5-6 and 5-5-1 in his last 2 years

True. Poor ol Dye had a rough two years after ol Eric Ramsey narced on him.
