Asian_lovr2:

In the first book, after Harry meets Quirrel, Hagrid discusses
Quirrel, and among other things, he talks about how he relates to his
students. Percy also makes reference to Quirrel teaching in previous
years (highly paraphrased). Although, we don't know how many years, we
know that Quirrel was DADA teacher at least one year before Harry
arrived. 

Quirrel gave the impression that he had had bad luck, which turned him
into a frightened quivering person, but we now know that that was just
a front to cover up the fact that he was now loyal to and working for
Voldemort.

So, clearly before Harry arrived, the DADA teacher lasted more than
one year. But no teacher has lasted since Harry arrived at the school.

Just a thought.
