  • Rating 74: 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 78: best five-season stretch, 2022–2026 at BYU (36-16), taking over a good program.
  • Career 71 (#170 since 1936): total accomplishment over 11 seasons (84-45), 0 national titles, 1 elite season; full credit for the program he inherited.
