9-3


Really dude? You are the epitome of an unrealistic fan. 9-3 isn't a bad season by any measure.

I look at 6-6 as mediocre and maybe 7-5 depending on who the wins are against. For example, a team that goes 7-5 by virtue of a couple wins against FCS teams could be considered mediocre, while a team with the same record who actually beat someone with a pulse isn't.

Tennessee is a good example. They were mediocre in Butch's first couple years but now have left mediocrity in the rear view mirror. Probably the best 8-4 team in the country. Auburn on the other hand, was elite in Gus's first year, then slipped to merely good last season, and now has slipped into full blown mediocrity.

Yes he is. I looked it up. In any given decade only 10-15 programs average nine wins a season and over the span of multiple decades the number of programs that average nine wins a season over a 25 year span shrinks to a list of 2-3 programs at best.

From 1990-2010 only Ohio State and Florida averaged a minimum of nine wins a season.
