So CBB took his 3-9 team to a bowl the next season... After taking over a 4-8 team... Does that make him a good coach?

Say what you want about BB in hindsight, but you're a liar if you say you weren't happy and excited about the future of Bert's teams after years 2 and 3. Year 2 ended with us shutting out two ranked teams including LSU and destroying Texas. Year 3 was pestered by injuries but the team was still playing high quality football by November as they were the year prior. At that point everyone bought in to what Bert was building because improvement was obvious and there was a clear blueprint for what he wanted and we had begun to see it work. Enos fixed the issues most had with Chaney's playcalling and definitely boosted the development of QBs, but losing Pittman turned out to be the beginning of the end for Bert. The rest is obviously history, but there was definitely a time where the vast majority of the fanbase would have rated BB's coaching at the time as satisfactory. He just didn't have the work ethic to keep going and made a few bad staff choices.

BTW.. That SMU team that Morris left behind is fighting for bowl eligibility.

No idea what validity this has at all. A team that was 7-6 last year is fighting for bowl eligibility? Should we alert someone?
