He didn't get the same offseason the other coaches got.
I think this coming year will be a good evaluation of him. He was able to revamp the coaching staff rather than just go on names (cough, EB).
If I had to give him a grade, B is about right. He should have fixed the offense (especially the run game) earlier, and the defense didn't really start playing for pressure until late in the season.
but I still would go with incomplete. This year is the year we'll see if he can be a long term solution, last year was just trying to hold the ship together, and we still were within range of a bowl game, despite the offense costing us shots at 4 more winnable games that we were in at halftime (LSU, Minn, UW, SC).
