Random stat. South Carolina had risen to a mediocre to decent level under Holtz. There is no way to determine whose program was worse when the respective coaches took over, but anything before the Holtz tenure at SCar is going to be skewed. A more reasonable stat would be the 4 years previous to each coach taking over - that would be one class. Or maybe the two or three years previous. Further than 4 years back is almost completely irrelevant.
