This makes sense to me. Bielema should be way ahead of Saban. Saban took successful teams to BCS bowls.
Look at how good Bama was before he got there. Bama had recently been to a BCS bowl before Saban....wait...sorry, he took Bama to their first BCS bowl, and they were 4 years removed from a 4-9 season...but anyone could have done that.
Let's talk about LSU, instead. Saban took a powerhouse program and just bumped it up a bit. LSU was reloading from a fully stocked cupboard that DiNardo left....oops...LSU was 3-8 the season before Saban got there, and it took him 3 seasons to get them to a BCS bowl.
Now Bielema took Wisconsin to a BCS bowl when they had never been to one before....wait...they went to the Rose Bowl after the '98 season. But it only took Bielema 5 years to get Wisconsin to a BCS bowl, while it took Saban 3 seasons at LSU and 2 seasons at Bama...wait...that is less time from schools that had worse records beofore he took over than what Bielema got when he took over...
Nevermind...after looking at the numbers, the study is even more ridiculous.

So after all that drivel you are trying to compare two coaches while using info about said coaches while they were in two completely different conferences. That's the true definition of apples to oranges. Find the common denominator of the two and try again.

There was more to the formula than what the team did before they took over.
CUM is up there on both lists and he took over Florida and Ohio St. programs that had been successful before his arrival.
If you would read the article it would make sense to you, maybe.
