PICTURE THREAD: Things more deserving than Mike Bellotti for the Hall of Fame

Well DNC stole all the good ones so I'll have to come up with some good job good effort ones.

On the other hand Mediocre Mike had a winning record vs every school in the PAC-10/12. And most of that was before the really big Phil Knight money kicked in. Some people forget how shitty Oregon used to be. I'm a little surprised the guy is in the HOF but calling him mediocre isn't accurate. Sorry...

Ugh I'll copy and paste my post once again to show he was built up by strong OC's(Tedford and Kelly) and without them he sucked ass.

Anyways here is my Bellotti stats I had in another thread to some of the Quooks on here.

Mike Bellotti at Chico State went 21-25-2 in five seasons and unlike James was getting worse at his small school. He went 4-5-1, 4-4-1, 7-3, 3-6, and 3-7.

At Oregon here are his W-L I'll bold those where Tedford or Kelly wasn't his OC.

1995: 9-3, 6-2, 3rd place. Ranked 18th
1996: 6-5, 3-5, T-5th
1997: 7-5, 3-5, T-7th

Totals: 22-13, 12-12

Now Tedford comes in the program

1998: 8-4, 5-3, T-3rd
1999: 9-3, 6-2, T-2nd, ranked 18th
2000: 10-2, 7-1, T-1st, ranked 7th
2001: 11-1, 7-1, 1st, ranked 2nd

Totals: 38-10, 25-7

Now Tedford takes off to Cal.

2002: 7-6, 3-5, 8th place
2003: 8-5, 5-3, T-3rd
2004: 5-6, 4-4, T-5th
2005: 10-2, 7-1, 2nd. Ranked 12th
2006: 7-6, 4-5, T-5th

Totals: 37-25, 23-18

Chip Kelly now enters the program.

2007: 9-4, 5-4, T-4th. Ranked 23rd(Were ranked top 5 all year until Dixon got hurt)
2008: 10-3, 7-2, T-2nd. Ranked 10th

Totals: 19-7, 12-6


In the six years with Tedford/Kelly he goes 57-17(.770), 37-13(.740) in conference. 5-1(.833) in bowl games

In the eight years without either Tedford or Kelly he goes 59-38(.608), 35-30(.538) in conference. 1-5 in bowl games(.166)

If these numbers don't spell out the picture that Bellotti is actually a bad coach who happened to benefit from two great OC's then I can't help you. The stats don't lie at all.
