ESPN Analyst Dan Dakich: U Not Clearing ‘Hurdle’

Pointing out that tubby and his teams have underperformed for the majority of 6 years is not trolling. That is a fact.

Prove to me that it's a fact. You can't. It's not a fact. It's an opinion. Saying a team "underperformed" is not something you can back up with data.

MY opinion is that in light of marginal recruiting, injuries, transfers, and the strength of the Big Ten in relation to us, we have performed right about how many expected us to. The recruiting is Tubby. The injuries are not. The transfers are, mostly, Tubby. The strength of the league is not.

So based on this post do you think Tubs has underperformed?

Yes, I believe he has underperformed, primarily on the recruiting and retention side of things. I do not think the team has underperformed. Most years with Tubby we have had guys playing out of position and trying to do things they are not capable of (see recruiting and retention).
