- Rating 73: his whole career, recent seasons weighted most, measured as how far his teams stood above their era, crediting him with half of what each program already was when he arrived (about the share that, historically, follows a coach to his next job), fading as the program becomes his own.
- Peak 73: best five-season stretch, 1998–2000 at Boise State (26-10), taking over one of the weakest programs in major college football.
- Career 68 (#219 since 1936): total accomplishment over 9 seasons (66-44), 0 national titles, 0 elite seasons; full credit for the program he inherited.
- Won big at one of his 2 programs (Boise State).
