BC, do you ever consider the state of the roster/program when evaluating coaching performance?

Durkin took over a bad Maryland team.

Wilcox took over a horrible ןɐɔ program.

Both are doing admirably with the cards they have - it is rather obvious, don't you think?  Or do you only measure their abilities by W/L record?

P.S.  The one-liners are flying tonight!  Phogge, I chuckled out loud on the Durkin/EUTM/stool comment!

Well, sure. If you want to get into context, that's fine. Then you can consider stuff like historical performance and what have you and come to the conclusion that...Shaw has the highest winning percentage in Stanford history. He consistently outperforms both the spread and the preseason over-unders, set by the money guys in Vegas whose business it is to get this right. Any objective conclusion is that he is, in general, very good at his job.

Then again, the Coen brothers made Ladykillers and Shakespeare wrote Love's Labours Lost. So no one's perfect. The question is whether Shaw will figure out how to adapt and change.
