That’s nearly half of his time in Starkville That he would not have made a bowl game if you add the 2009 year. He probably would have been fired instead of getting the Florida job had he been in Sherrill’s situation. Sherrill was the better coach due to doing what he did without all of the SEC money and extra cupcake game per year.
Jackie, coaching in a much worse sec west, also put up four 3 win seasons and a 2 win season (I think). And left us on probation on the way out the door and with the program in a freaking mess. Even if dan would have barely missed a bowl game in 11,13, and 16, he never bombed like Jackie and ran a much better program internally than Jackie.
