8-24 (2-16)

24 losses by a total of 259 points, 10.8 ppg. Inflated by 39 point loss to Florida. All other games 9.6 ppg.

2 losses by 20 or more points. In his third year, not his fifth.

There were also multiple NCAA issues which were an albatross on the program.

Clearly, that didn't amount to turning the corner.

This year 10 losses by 209 points. 20.9 point average. 1 loss by less than 10 points. Take out his worst, 43 to Arkansas, you still have 18.4 loss per game.

When losing by 10 points has gone from need to fire a third year coach to not currently an embarrassment to the university for a fifth year coach, something is seriously wrong.
