Mack Brown won a bowl game his first season.  #notimpressed

Mostly kidding. I like that he turned those programs around, however, those 2-10 and 1-11 records are a bit concerning. You’d think a great motivator, leader, and game-planner could do a little better than that even if the roster wasn’t great. Isn’t that what we want, a guy that can get the most out of players and win even with inferior rosters? Temple isn’t playing a power 5 schedule and there had to have been at least a couple more beatable cupcakes on Baylor’s schedule. Correct me if I’m wrong, I didn’t check what the schedules actually were, just an educated guess.

I’ll give ya the Temple one. But he did have them nationally ranked in two different seasons. That’s not easy at Temple. 

The Baylor turnaround is miraculous. Art Briles left that program underground. The things that went on there are hard to read. And for MR to get THAT program back to nearly a CFP berth, I think is impressive.

We’ll see. Fu’s still never lost a game in the state of NC (minus this bowl game in BofA).

Wins 52% of his games. Sounds about right for this place.

He’s evidently an all around great guy

That’s pretty freaking good at a train wreck that Baylor was and Temple

he took over a 1-11 team so going 52% over his time there is pretty nutso. there were 4 high quality recruits on his whole team.

now he's taking over a team with Cam Newton and Christian McCaffery and Luke Kuechley

Already looking forward to next season. If Ron was still here not so much.

Good point. However, if you look at his recruiting rankings they are far from stellar so maybe not recruiting that he excelled at. 

Yep...his highest ranked class was 29th, here’s a clip  from him in early December...

Ahh yes which is why Texas is doing so well. 

Harbaugh did great, Kelly was over .500 with then got eaten alive in the 49ers mess, Carroll is an interesting case but he never did anything in the pros, Marrone has somehow gotten two winning seasons. 

what. pete carrol did nothing?

Yes, but that takes years and years to turn things around. Far longer than what Rhule was able to do. 

And if you think you don't recruit free agents in the NFL, you would be wrong.

I think he projects better to center.  He is ambidextrous.
