Tom took over a national champion with blue chip talent buried on the roster. There is no similaritiy between Rhule’s situation and Tom’s when they took over the program. It’s not apples to oranges. It’s apples to cabbage.
You play who is on your schedule and obviously when you include teams like UTSA, Rice and SFA you’re going to stack a lot of losers in your statistic. They beat some good teams that year.
Baylor
2017 - lone win was against 1-11 Kansas
2018 - wins came against Abilene Christian, UTSA, Kansas, Kstate, Okstate, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt who had a combine record of 35-50 (0.412)
2019 - wins came against SFA, UTSA, Rice, Iowa State, Kstate, Texas Tech, Okstate, West Virginia, TCU, Texas, and Kansas who had a combined record of 58-78 (0.426)
So his entire tenure at Baylor was built of beating teams with combined records of 94-139 (0.403).
Congratulations, its nearly identical to his Temple tenure.
If Rhule loses the rest of the games this year (highly likely since he's a loser coach so far), he will have a career winning % of 0.496.
My point was, the poster took a random 3 year period of TO's and tried to compare it to a 3 year period, and TO's career extended well past any 3 year period.
You mean like the UTEPs, UNI's, Rutgers and Purdue's of the college football world?
Perfect
Anybody who expecting a miraculous offensive turn around in 9 practices is an idiot.
Rutgers and Purdue have way more talent now than those teams had then. Hell UTEP probably does too.
How a team finishes ranked is some bizarre scenario? That is the one & only scenario. No one uses in-season rankings to determine end of the season success because how a team is ranked Week 1 - final week of the regular season as it doesn't really matter once the entire season plays out. My "bizarre scenario" shows consistency.
So ignore everything up to this point. Nah. The HC is in charge and it's been a shit show from day 1. But you go on plant
preseason rankings =/= end of regular season rankings and your attempt to conflate the two is frankly retarded given you’re ignoring 3 months of determining data.
pressure's off today
Jedd Fisch seems like he’ll succeed there. If we could trade HCs with them I’d feel a lot better about things.

Agreed. Things are obviously not going to plan. Here’s to hoping DH brings his A game to NU and isn’t another guy looking for a fat paycheck from us and bringing less than max effort.
I didn't have the energy to look up 25 years worth of Osborne's victories and those opponents winning records.
At no point am I conflating preseason rankings to end of regular season rankings. Just like I wouldn't conflate Week 5, Week 9, Week 12, etc to end of the regular season rankings.
No idea, but I would bet its lower than either one of actually thinks.
I don’t see a silver lining in any of this but I’m not going to go scorched earth on the head coach like some. Obviously Rhule recognized Satt needed help last year. He tried to fix the situation with Thomas but it didn’t work. Now he’s trying Dana. At least he’s recognized the problems and is doing everything he can to correct them
I’m afraid you’re probably right. This USC team beat LSU and I think has lost 5 games by a total of 19 points. They’ve been better than us all year. 😕
Hahaha!!! Did you know that there's a thing called Google where you can look stuff up that no one remembers?
Wrong again. You were very specific in commenting that we beat multiple Top 10 teams in the '74-'76 season.
Hahaha shut the fųck up
Even when I try to be a nice guy and concede to one of your idiotic points, you still end up being wrong.
