L.C. 4.7 wins per season on a schedule that's averaged 11 games a year over the last 50. Ohio schedules are now regularly 13-14 games long. An additional 2-3 games a year is worth an extra win as is an annual game against a FCS school. The predicted mean for Ohio with today's scheduling is more like 6.7 wins, not far from Frank's average of 7.3 at Ohio. Which goes to show that Frank while winning more games is doing no better than an average job at Ohio. Grobe at least had a season where it was less that 4 losses, going 8-3 one year.

The scene: A newly-minted millionaire named P.J. Fleck is standing with a close friend on a Lake Michigan beach. He's driven a dune buggy to this place and it sits idling, a giant oar strapped across the front. It's 31 degrees. Fleck is wearing a tasteful shirt, tie and sweater. And brown wetsuit shorts and webbed water shoes. He has a look in his eyes.


"I wanna buy a million whistles with the money."

"P.J., what are you gonna do with a million whistles?"

"Can never have enough 5 Hour Energies or whistles, that's what I say. Row the Boat!"

"P.J.? Where are you going? P.J.?"

[P.J. Fleck makes his rowing motion, making his way out onto Lake Michigan like a fully-powered electric hedger in a bathtub]
