Not bad for a guy with one Fiesta Bowl win and had to be replaced by a better coach on his own staff for Oregon to rise to elite status.
When does Mark Mangino get inducted?

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.
Lambo had a terrible habit of doing that too. Run up the middle, run up the middle, run up the middle, punt was Lambo's offense with a big lead why he had many blown leads as well.
