That 1986 team got spanked by the eventual undefeated national champion and lost by a total of eight points to two outstanding teams. It’s not like they really sucked or underachieved. And in that pre-BCS and pre conference championship era, the Sun Bowl was not dogmeat.

I didn’t say the guy was one of the greatest coaches in the history of the school. I very specifically said he did an excellent job in a difficult situation. I stand by that.

And I never said he was warm and cuddly, but there was some dead wood in the program in 1982 and someone needed to be the heel to clear it out and move things forward. He had the coglioni to do that and take the heat.

'85 team lost 2 games by 2 pts each with 1 tie.

Shula threw an INT in the backfield in the TN game.

I think the record shows that he did a below average job in a pretty good situation.
