How did you do that? The keyboard I use for Hogville only has 1 sentence on it: "Mike's teams are terrible on the road always no exceptions."

[hawgball40]

its never as good or as bad as it seems with mike. His main problem is not recruiting enough high caliber players.

[3of5-2]

Nice that you left the NC year and the runner up year. Once you get to that level, anything less than 1 win or more at least every other year in the NCAAT is unacceptable. Thus, the reason why all but MA were let go.

does it not say the last *25 years. Since then MA has the only two winning road records.

Nope, 22

[BannerMountainMan]

Nope, 22

yeah that's what I meant hahaha

[hobhog]

Means we have sucked on the road. All those coaches except MA were fired I believe after posting those road records....

[3kgthog]

Kinda dumb to use this comparison when Nolan won a freaking championship and Stan and Pel both did as well as MA has in the NCAAT as head Hog.

Mike having a higher road winning percentage means about as much as Bielema being the only Hog coach to win back to back bowls.

League was a lot tougher during nolan's time

[Nickle-Pig]

thanks for posting ......very interesting

I'd say signing them. We recruit them plenty.

things are a changing, the playing field is leveling out hopefully once the NCAA mans up

OP, look at all your data.
Over the last 22 seasons the hogs have had seven 1 or less conference road win seasons.
CMA owns 3 of them (43%).

Disclaimer: CMA is meeting my expectation. His teams are Hot & Cold and frustrating to watch sometimes. I believe that when hitting on all cylinders a CMA team can make a deep run in the NCAAT.

I'm only seeing two.

CMA - 2, his first two seasons.
Pelphrey - 1
Heath - 3
Nolan - 1

Doesn't Mike have like the 3rd best road record in the SEC over the last 3 seasons?

They may have made those deep runs if not for North Carolina. If we would have had South Carolina's draw last year, we might have made it past the Sweet 16 as well.

A lot of tournament runs require luck in the selection process. Mike has had very bad luck in that.

Your problem is that you're trying to use reason and statistics with people who hate based on reasons that have little to do with MA's on-court performance, which anyone can see has been pretty good, and definitely the best at UA since the mid-90's.  There's really nothing you can say, no evidence you can present, no matter how persuasive, that will change the mind of one of these people.

0-2 so far this season, probably shouldn't count that one.

Mike is the only one to have a winning season on the road, and he has 2. I would bet he makes it 3 this year.

We are 15-12 in SEC the last 3 seasons. Probably one of the best in the SEC in that span, which reflects the trend of our program under Mike.

I think we are 3rd best...

Mike has both winning road records.

Hmmm.

Conveniently omitted:

1994-95: Road: 7-3
1993-94: Road: 7-2
1992-93: Road: 7-5
1991-92: Road: 8-4
1990-91: Road: 10-1
1989-90: Road: 8-3


On the whole, Nolan's road record is nearly double that of MA's. MA has done a decent job relative to our last three coaches. Comparing him to Nolan (and trying to act like he is better) is a joke.

Yes, I read the last 22 years. That is not the point that is made, however, when you start breaking down coaches by their record - 3 of them have all their games are included, one who does not.

Yes, and the other three guys were fired.

The point that is made is that CMA has the best road record of the last 20 years.

This is very true.  I need to learn how to ignore them.  Hogville used to have a feature where you could ignore posters and not see their posts, is it still there?

Yeah, what you're insinuating here isn't even remotely true. No one is hating based upon race like you no doubt implied with your trollish little post. The detractors are frustrated because he hasn't built us into a contender yet and, many have valid questions as to if he ever will, and alot of them have made up their mind that he won't. Like it or not, Mike hasn't delivered on what he's promised. Will he? remains to be seen? Is it time to fire him? Not quite. But make no mistake, if he doesn't start producing he'll hit the road sooner rather than later. Just the way it is.

Heath, Pelfrey or Anderson? I'd much rather have MA. Not sure anyone willing to coach here could do any better.
