He said since Bama and Saban. Which 3 years are you using for Saban? It’s either 6-7, 7-6, and 12-2, or it’s 7-6, 12-2, 14-0. No doubling win totals. No 3 win seasons. It’s almost as if you applied your own criteria to what Pilot said. The 3 season requirement is just another to add to the list.
It's very simple. I will explain it one more time. Baseline year: the year before someone got there. Year 1 wins. Year 2 wins to this same point as Heupel. You have come up with some examples of similar performances now, but your first 4 were not. You had rejected what he said without having any counterfactual to that point. You're just trolling.
2020 Arkansas: 3-7 2021 Arkansas: 9-4 2022 Arkansas: 3-1 with a loss to a ranked opponent. EDIT: And holy [uck fay], that crazy missed field goal was the difference or they’d be 4-0
1-11 to 10-4 is a FAR superior improvement if we aren’t bound by the stupid 3 year rule that you just made up.
If the data after Year 2 disagrees with him, there is no need for Year 3. And again, you’re the one who plugged in wins as the measurement. Pilot didn’t say anything about win totals. He was focused more on the growth of the team. The TAMU example is still probably the best if we aren’t looking at it like robots and sticking to all of your made up rules. They went from 7-6 one year to legitimate National Title Contenders the next. The closest equivalent would be Heupel beating Bama but losing to LSU and UGA with Hooker winning the heisman. And then winning a huge bowl game.
2013 Florida: 4-8 2014 Florida: 7-5 (would have been 8-5 but Idaho game got canceled) 2015 Florida: 10-4 (started 6-0)
