  • Rating 76: 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 82: best five-season stretch, 2019–2021 at North Dakota State (37-4, 2 national titles), taking over an average program.
  • Won big at one of his 2 programs (North Dakota State).
