If we are going to assign him blame for the losses, then he gets credit for coaching in wins. He out coached the other guy 42 times at UL.
I don't think that's the issue. It's when has his coaching elevated the team's performance above it's apparent talent level? When has he done more with less? Ever? I think three of the 4 bowl wins he did. But after that the pickens are slim. And in many cases he had his pants pulled down by the other coach on national TV. I'm not sure why he coaches so well in the bowl games....outclassing 3 teams that were arguably better than us, but can't do it during the regular season, or really come even close.
