- Rating 70: 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 71: best five-season stretch, 2016–2018 at UCF and Nebraska (23-15, 1 top-10 season by team strength, 1 national title).
- Career 69 (#203 since 1936): total accomplishment over 9 seasons (40-45), 1 national title, 1 elite season; full credit for the program he inherited.
- Won big at one of his 2 programs (UCF).
