I did some research awhile back on 3 coaches who took over historically mediocre programs and become coaching legends. It took Bobby Bowden 11 years before he started consistently winning 10+ games a year. It took LaVell Edwards 8 years to start winning 10+ a year consistently. It took Frank Beamer 12 years to consistently win 10+ a year. Bowden and Beamer both had 2 10+ win seasons during those first 11 and 12 years respectively. LaVell Edwards had zero. Beaner was actually 41-47 after his first 9 years. It takes time to build a national brand type team after decades of mediocrity. Can Dan do what those 3 did. I dont know but I believe he can. Time will tell but hes doing it just like others in the past have done it. Consistent winning seasons, bowl games every year and not taking short cuts. Im sure others will have varying opinions. I did the research just for some comps in similar type situations.
