Swansea's Francesco Guidolin survived seven fixtures in 2016/17 and Dick Advocaat got a game further at Sunderland in 2015/16 - his resignation pipped Liverpool's sacking of Brendan Rodgers by a matter of hours.
So it really isn't out of the ordinary for all 20 top-flight bosses to still be in post at this stage of a campaign, but we are definitely reaching tipping point if recent history is anything to go by.
What does make the current season unusual is that so few managers seem to be under pressure.

Incredible 7-2 thrashing at Aston Villa aside, champions Liverpool have made a solid start to the season, but they are the solitary Big Six team to come close to expectations.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the only manager among the Premier League's elite clubs to have faced any kind of pressure, but even his price on becoming the first casualty of the campaign tumbled following a 6-1 humbling by Spurs, not as a consequence of poor results overall. There has been the odd moan about Frank Lampard's struggles to get Chelsea firing, but not a significant amount.
It should be considered a good thing that managers are being afforded more patience than usual thanks to the absence of tens of thousands of screaming fans questioning their every decision and calling for them to be given the boot.
Even at the wrong end of the table there doesn't seem to be the same pressure cooker surrounding a potential sacking. The teams below 15th-placed Man Utd are arguably ones you'd expect to be there, perhaps with the exception of 2019/20 surprise package Sheffield United. Scott Parker is the Sack Race favourite, but really that is putting two and two together with Fulham bottom and yet to win a game.
But when has a bad team being in a bad league position stopped a decent manager losing their job? Maybe this season it will be different... don't hold your breath.
If that does indeed turn out to be a positive, then there has been one huge negative to emerge from the lack of accountability empty stadiums provide.
