Can you also provide GPA?

Also, provide the number of minutes of media coverage (negatively and positively in 2016 vs 2017)?
 



It's also Luke Fickell not Lou.

8/21 have already surpassed or equaled last year's win total. 3 others are within 1 win of equaling last year's total.

Boy oh boy are we getting desperate.

It's hardly desperate to point out the main reason Claeys was fired and Fleck was hired.
Had nothing to do with W's and L's.

And EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MARKETING!!!! Marketing alone is why they waited until after the bowl game (Coyle thought they'd get smoked by a pass happy WSU against a depleted secondary and figured it'd be another bullet in the gun), and why Coyle looked less than pleased with how the team was performing during the game.

Some can say scandal was the reason. Then those people please tell me why he wasn't immediately fired as he should've been if that's the reason.
 

Talent from year to year changes, crooting, any given school's appeal to fans and players.... I don't think I've seen anything that gives anyone any insight on what a baseline change at coaching should entail or what you should expect. Too many variables.
 



I have feverishly searched the internet, but cannot find a ranking for the critical "media attention" index used to evaluate coaches. Can someone help? Thanks.
