[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129442652, member: 1500287"] I think Dana would have been a C+ coach had he beaten K- State. Losing to them takes him down to a C-. When he can finish #4 in the Big12, I'll give him a B-, Third B, Second B+, Big12 champion, an A. When he starts getting mentioned for other coaching jobs openings, we will have some consensus that he is a good coach. Right now he is just middle of the pack in the Big12 at best. I thought he showed some signs that he was adapting to the talent he has this year, then there were other signs that he is not really able to sustain focus and give his team the edge. I really am tired of comparisons with Nehlen and Stewart. Meaningless. Do we aspire to finish 5th or 6th in the Big12 at best, or do we aspire to win the conference Championship? Which outcome will Dana be able to deliver as far as recruiting and game day management? I'm not much interested in a coaching carousel, but I'm not a big fan of Dana either. I don't care if he is better than Nehlen, I don't care if he is better than Cignetti. If he can't build a team that every 4 or 5 years has at least a remote chance to take the CC then we have to ask ourselves what we are settling for. [/QUOTE]
