Guy hasn't coached a game yet, but his track record looks good. Sure is a lot of new faces on this staff too and they seem to be upgrades as well. Anyway, I feel Moorhead can be a +1 factor over Dan this year because he won't clam up play calling wise in big games whose team has equal or greater talent(I hope). Maybe this topic will be a fun debate. Hailstate
I?m not certain wins will be the best way to measure this. There is no doubt that had Mullen not left this past November he would this coming one due to marketability. That said, what I think is the best determining factor is how competitive the program will be NEXT season when the rebuilding begins in earnest. Joe will have us much further along than Mullen ever would have been to recover. It?s the non field stuff. I just get the feeling that the team trusts Moorhead?s plan as a long range one.

As far as this year, there could be a difference, but talent could have covered it up.
