Come on, you are not seriously trying to imply Greg's first season was as good as CPR's?
Going .500 in football is a much bigger accomplishment than it is in basketball.
I don't think there is enough data to say Rhoads clearly performed better than McDermott.
Rhoads didn't have to play Texas, Oklahoma or Texas Tech this year. So he got the 'easy' big 12 schedule.
And he wen't .500 (and let's be honest... higher ranked teams with better records got snubbed in favor of us).
McD took 2 returners (Jiri Hubalek and Rahshon Clark), and was much worse off than Rhoads and won .500 his first year.
I don't feel that because football takes a higher percentage of teams to the post season can justify that it's harder to go .500 in football than it is in Basketball.
I am extremely happy with what Rhoads did. I hope he is extremely successful and does not go roughly 500 over the next 3 seasons or everyone should be saying the same thing about him as they are about McD.
I feel this way because basketball and football are apples to oranges... somebody made the case that Rhoads did better his first year than McD. I provided the above arguments to prove that you can't make that case.
