Pre-UConn, he showed that he could make progress each year. I think if you do that twice you could call him a proven winner. I’m sure others have a different opinion. Plus, hindsight is 20/20.

I just don’t feel like that’s a big problem. If you beat 3 good OOC teams, that means you’re more competitive. Years ago, teams would play cupcake OOC schedules and get into the tournament by generally being .500 in conference (at least for the ACC). The arguments back then were all about OOC...
I would say there are more Big10 alumni in Atlanta than in Charlottesville!

Points are what matters for wins and losses, no argument there. Measuring the performance of the team ultimately falls to that.
But if you're trying to make decisions about coaching changes or diagnose what is really going wrong, then comparison against some baseline can help you do that...
One could argue that we are close to average in college football, because that includes teams like UL Monroe, Kent State or UConn. If you look at just the P5 + ND (which is 69 teams), our DFEI was 54th out of 69. That's bottom quartile. We're average when comparing us to The Sisters of the...
I like to think of efficiency like this - if your offense fumbles on the 20 yard line and you hold the opponent to a field goal, that only happens 30% of the time so it’s a positive outcome. Points against goes up, but positive due to starting position.
Another example: imagine two teams that...
