Thread ran its course and served its purpose big guy. Seems like you’re the one that decided to bring the topic into this thread.

Fair enough...as far as my comments regarding Bragga’s post season accomplishments...here’s my Robe defense per your request...you seem to be fine with Bragga making regional 3/14 years due to him being in a 1 bid league...Sun belt is usually 2 bid league and Robe has made it 12/24 years...who’s more successful?

It’s not comparable. That’s the point.

Edit: Where did I say I was ok with it? I didn’t say anything about it being a great hire. It’s risky. All I said was your comparison was not valid.

Def thinks it’s comparable...he had 6 overall losing seasons...7 conference losing seasons...point being...him being in a 1 bid league is not the reason he only had 3 appearances in 14 years...another point is that given time to turn things around...great things are still possible...

Would Robe’s results cut it if he was coaching in the SEC?

I would say yes....looking at just LSU since 1995...they’ve won 7 conference regular season titles... Robe has won 6...didn’t even bother looking up Ole Miss, Kentucky, Georgia, etc. Bc I believe I know the answer

We are talking postseason appearances. Quit changing the criteria.

Well going to a conference with built in bias and advantages would change the criteria.

Exactly my point. Ohio valley is not the sunbelt which is not the SEC. Comparing postseason appearances between any 2 of the 3 is useless.

Even still...I’ll research later, can’t right now...but I’d bet Robes 50% success rate is better than the bottom tier SEC schools...but again...pure assumption...

But the SBC has been a one bid league..the SEC has never. Much closer comparison
