Some including our corrent HC will try to make you believe that being competitive in all our games so far and only losing by a small margin is evidence of progress. But that is BS when you consider the level of competition.
Being competitive and only losing to TERRIBLE teams by a small margin is not progress.
If we were doing that against good teams then yes you could hold that up as something.
But we are losing to TERRIBLE teams.

Yet, an unknown Illinois team some up finds a way to upset a legitimate Top 15 Wisconsin team and is competitive at the same time. Go figure.

And this is the problem with people bringing up other coaches first year records. Look past the records and examine each game, look for pattens, who is favored?, what do your eyes tell you? Looking at records alone is a lazy method in setting benchmarks for first year coaches, especially when the head coach hails from the previous regime.
