LA tech (WAC (updated))
2010 - 5-7 Conference (4-4)
2011 - 8-5 Conference (6-1)
2012 - 9-3 Conference (4-2)
California (PAC12)
2013 - 1-11 (0-9)
2014 - 5-7 (3-6)
2015 - 8-5 (4-5)
2016 - 5-7 (3-6)
Never a winning conference record in the PAC. Are you freaking kidding me? This hire might have made sense had we not gotten Chad but obviously he was at Cal and probably wouldn't have left. We need a coach that can show a real 9+ win resume or an outstanding recruiter. Not a loser.
I am more and more on board with this as I look into Sonny more...
The win total increases at both LA Tech and Cal are as impressive as Chad's. He has also won more conference titles and Bowl games than Chad. Did not realize that he took over at LA Tech after Derrek Dooley bolted for Tennessee...interesting similarity there...
More importantly, the teams that he beat are MUCH MORE impressive than Chad's wins...
At LA Tech - he beat Ole Miss, Houston, Illinois, Virginia, and almost knocked off TCU and A&M (lost by 2 to Johnny football I believe).
At Cal - Beat University of Texas TWICE among an assortment of Pac 12 teams.
The season he was fired - he beat #11 and #18 teams.
