If they don't have 8 wins minimum next year, they're basically an absolutely horrible program.
Going into what, his fifth year now? Mangino has NEVER had a winning conference record. He's never even had a TIED conference record. Using the "well Terry Allen destroyed our football program" excuse doesn't really work this far into a coaches tenure.
He has a nonconference schedule that would make Snyder proud. Not going 4-0 there = terrible coaching.
Also, he's entering his 6th year and he's never finished with a .500 or better record in conference play, and he's never finished better than 4th in the north. (And the north is the weak ass division in our conference.)
The hilarious thing is Terry Allen had an extremely similar record to Mangino's right now.
However, being typical squawk fans, they'll get a 6-6 or 7-5 record and call it progress. They think being bowl eligible with a 12 game schedule and 4 creampuffs means something.
