This is the most misleading statistic in all of sports. The year two jump. It only works when an elite coach takes over an elite program that already had elite talent.
Misleading stat of the day sponsored by Clay Travis. Be sure and visit his website, Outkick the Coverage for more misleading stats that are 100% correct.
 
So therein lies the rub.. basically what all sports "arguments" come down to, is how to define "elite", clarify expectations, justify comparisons.

Took Dabo a lot longer than two years to get "elite". Kirby ain't won nothin' yet, Paaawwwl. Patterson may have gotten snubbed from a BCS game back when TCU was MWC, but he had a great shot against an elite Ohio State team this last weekend and couldn't get the job done. Peterson has won the Pac, but got blown out by Bama in their only CFP appearance.

But you're right, 9-10 in 2019, we're onto something. I just hope our crazies don't think that CJP is an abject failure if we're only able to scrounge out 7 with maybe an outside shot at 9-10 in 2020, a year behind that "excellence" curve.

Saban didn't crush it year two at MSU either, but he did very well at LSU and Bama year two. Very relative.
 
Sup bro. You can pass it along if you want. I like to salt and pepper it, fry it for about a minute then dump it in the garbage where it belongs. Then start cooking the good stuff.

Thumbs up on every word.

Kirby falls into that category that gets Vol fans every time. Have a great year or two and we think he's the coming of the next Gen Neyland. I still remember well after his one great year at Rutgers how many fans wanted us to go after Schiano. He's one of many.
 
For those of you who are cooking gator this weekend, don't forget to brine or marinate your meat overnight to get the stank out.
