"You could argue that the biggest difference in the 2 is that NIL killed off most of the mid-major programs, meaning the SEC and Big 10 could start stacking up even more NCAA Tournament bids, meaning that 8-10 was now good enough to make it under Jans when it wasn't enough under Howland."

Also, 0 .500+ SEC records vs. 3
Howland's 2019 team was a 5 seed with a top 20 NET. Jans never better than an 8 seed.
Howland probably would have gotten a 2nd NCAA bid in 2020 if it hadn't been canceled.
Howland had to rebuild from Rick Ray, while Jans inherited a competent enough program.
Jans has never been better than 8-10 in the SEC, and in Howland's last 5 years, he was never worse than 8-10.

Like I said, I think I'm still leaning toward Jans being an improvement, but you can make the case either way.
