In reply to: He built up Baylor, no doubt about it  posted by DBCooper


Baylor was left for dead after the Briles scandal. Within three years he won 11 games. Yes, he lost all three games to Top 10 teams his last year but all three were close games including an OT loss to #6 OU. Considering where Baylor was, to do that in Year 3 is impressive.

He took over Temple after Addazio crapped out a 4-7 record. By Year 3, he won 10 games and then won 10 games in Year 4, the first time Temple had ever had back to back 10 win seasons. That 2015 Temple team gave our 9th ranked Irish all we could handle (we won 24-20).

So he's succeeded at two downtrodden programs having them both competing with the "elites" within three years.

The NFL is a QB driven league and he has crap in Carolina unless one thinks Cam Newton or Sam Darnold are high level NFL QBs. He'll likely exceed his first year win total, however, with crap at QB.
