He may be giving up 35 a game with Tulsa caliber talent, but he is also able to score 50 with Tulsa caliber talent. He almost beat Arkansas on the road this year, which even as bad as they are, is still a nice showing. He also has won at Rice, a place that may very well be the worst I-A job that's not a service academy, and won their first bowl game in an eon. Then he goes to Tulsa, where he has to compete with Oklahoma, a national super power and Oklahoma State/T Boone Pickens to get players at a private school and now he has taken them to the C-USA Championship game two years running. Plus, Houston is not a pushover by any means. UH scored 70, but I think Tulsa scored 56, so they were certainly competitive.
If Derek Dooley was doing what Todd Graham was doing at Tulsa, I'd actually want Dooley.
Todd Graham is exactly the kind of coach we need to be looking at- someone doing more with less.
