- Rating 52: 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, 1997–1999 at Northwestern Oklahoma State (25-8, 1 national title), taking over an average program.
- Career 58 (#372 since 1936): total accomplishment over 9 seasons (60-38), 1 national title, 1 elite season; full credit for the program he inherited.
- Won big at one of his 3 programs (Northwestern Oklahoma State).
