Like I said Leach had almost as many top 25 wins as Dan did in three years. And a good chunk of Dan's top 25 wins came in 2014 over a three week period.
Well if you cherry pick metrics, sure (JWS never won a sec championship though-he did win a bad West in 98 when we got to play USC, Vandy, and KY from the East, and he deserves credit for that).

But he also put up 6 losing seasons in 13 years, 5 of which were horrible 3-win-or-less seasons. All five of those were much worse than Dan's worst two years of 5-7. And he left the program in shambles, whereas Dan left it in the best shape it's ever been. He gets credit for all of that, too.
