[QUOTE="Papillion, post: 129458023, member: 1643924"] You laugh at comparison of years but yet you're the one comparing, which is what is laughable. And my point is not so much BIG wins as in where a team finished but you have to give credit for beating a team at the time of their ranking as well. That's how teams move up in the rankings in the first place. No one holds their votes waiting to see where a team has finished at the end of the season. It works both ways as well. If you want examples though, there are different kinds of big wins like the string of wins against the eastern teams in 84 with win after win. Three straight 9-win seasons right after four losing seasons. You think that wasn't coaching? Who cares where Miami/93 ended up. Nehlen beat them when they were 9-1 and #4 in the country with their usual great defense. Their offense was the problem and DN over came that then to go on the road to beat #12 BC the very next week to secure an unbeaten season is nothing to scoff at. I also look at the great teams he played tough like PSU in 86 when they won the nat'l title but only gave up one TD. And all the times he played Miami he got blown out only one time but was out manned every game but one. And I guess the 3 TD win over Syracuse who was #12 in 88 was nothing as well? Too bad for you because that win put us in the nat'l title game. We lose and it's just the Fiesta Bowl. I don't see DH playing great teams tough like that as much as he is getting blown out. You scoff at his early 80s wins like OU calling it just an upset then brag about DH's Baylor win as if that wasn't one of those blind squirrel upsets? You're not winning this argument. I'm presenting facts you're just downgrading a HOF coach who is directly responsible for our identity and stature in the college football world and I've been around and it's very respected because of him. I'm not going to argue with your ignorance anymore. No one said Nehlen didn't underachieve as well like he did for the most part after 93. But Nehlen is in the HOF for a reason and when he retired you had Super Bowl winning coaches like Bill Parcels calling him to congratulate him on his career. That's good enough for me. Let's see people like you be as demanding with yourself as you are with a coach who is in the HOF. [/QUOTE]
