They were 21-24 in the 4 years prior to his arrival.Re: program building, where was Oklahoma State when Miles got there? I don't think people saying "He wasn't that great at OK State" have done their homework, at all.
The biggest improvement he made was he found a way to beat OU in his first two years. He left a team in decline with a 7-5 record that won only 4 the next year and had to be rebuilt. Gundy replaced him and did rebuild the Cowboys to a level of success they've never known.
I disagree with this. Tennessee doesn't have the in-state talent LSU does, obviously, but Oklahoma State considers top-30 recruiting classes a success. Tennessee, even under Dooley for the most part, is much closer to LSU.
No problem. We'll just disagree.
