[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131814819, member: 1812660"] 2008: No wins against a team that finished in the top 25. Losses: 9-5 ECU, 5-7 Colorado, #17 11-3 Cincinnati (at least in OT, but at home), 9-4 Pitt. 2009: Best win 19-16 at home vs #15 10-3 Pitt. Losses: 8-5 Auburn, 8-5 USF, #8 12-1 Cincinnati (24-21 on the road), 7-6 FSU. 2010: Best win 31-17 at home vs #23 9-4 Maryland. Losses: #8 11-2 LSU (20-14 on the road), 8-5 Syracuse (19-14 at home), 8-5 UConn (16-13 overtime on the road), #25 NC State (23-7 bowl game) Hard to argue that this is bad, but equally hard to argue that it is great. Definitely unable to argue it's comparable to the success from 2005-2007. It's better than what we have now (up until this point), but only slightly better than what we had from 2011-2018. And again I am not discounting Stewart's abilities particularly when it comes to recruiting. I credited him and his staff for the 2011 season including the Orange Bowl win more than Holgorsen. That's because I believe the recruiting, the experience from the previous season, the off-season conditioning, and the Spring/Fall practices leading up to a season are more important than game week/day X's and O's to winning games. However both are important if your goal is to field an elite team. 2011 proved that Stewart and his staff was better at the former, but really bad at the latter. 2013 proved that Holgorsen and his staff were really bad at the former despite being better at the latter. Holgerson's staff also proved which is more important to the success of the team. [/QUOTE]
