Well it's pretty much indisputable that he's elevated the program. Your numbers show that so I don't get why you say he didn't.
Long term who knows. I'd bet on illinois too but bama will still have made significant progress with their hire.
I simply stated he didn't significantly elevate the program, his pedigree/name/background being hired elevated the program for a single year...it has remained stagnant since that time for the most part?
He is 553% winning overall and 481% in conference, if that is elevating the program well hell we should of all simply loved 559% (Hint: Groce) instead of griping how much he screwed up the program....Numbers show the same % both ways, did Groce elevate Illinois....NO he didn't and Johnson has not done that for Alabama, only his name did briefly.
