The bowl game achievement doesn't mean as much when you consider they've added a ridiculous number of bowl games over the years. Didn't his predecessor win the conference at La Tech? Didn't his successor win the conference, too?


Then why did it take La Tech over 20 years to win one then?

Jack Bicknell won it in 2001, but that was in a much weaker WAC, plus it was Gary Crowton that built up La Tech, he left after his third year to coach at BYU. The WAC was the strongest nonaq conference when Dooley was in there. Nevada, Hawaii, Fresno State, and Boise State were all good programs at the time.

You do realize you're discussing the strength of the WAC for rationalizing Dooley being mediocre at best, right?
