I'm kind of over the Doc era:

- Start date
That mentality cost him a win vs WVU when he played Tron as a freshman when we had Martin Ward on the bench. Result-Fumble, rally on and game over
and here is the deal with that, Don Nehlen, Docs mentor never liked playing freshmen running backs early in the season(or at all as freshmen) because he said they were not strong enough for this very reason. Turnovers. Tron was his recruit so it was one of his guys.
I will never understand why he put Tron in there. Ward was running great against WVU and was a big reason we had the lead. Doc just never liked Ward for whatever reason and would bench him when he could have made an impact.
Someone post the blog that was posted a couple of weeks ago that analyzed our wins and losses and basically concluded that Doc's era has not been that special.
not the blog, but last week i posted some stats similar to what you are asking for...
Doc vs FBS that finished with winning record
2010
1-5
2011
3-5
2012
1-5
2013
3-4
2014
3-1
2015
1-3
Total
12-23
The blog encapsulated these type stats but in a well written essay and conclusion that were not that good under Doc.
Banker is the one who did the analysis, but he won't post over here or is still on perma-ban.
He posted the analysis over on the Woodshed. The guy who wrote the blog entry copied/pasted banker's info into his blog, although he did fully admit and support the reference.

Since Doc has 4 more years on his contract I'm not sure it matters if we are over the Doc era...
Yeah, someone twisted them to make sure except for one season he only beat losing teams. Lol.
To what end? Baring a miraculous turn of events, we're not winning CUSA this year. That will be one conference championship in 7 years in the 2nd worst (maybe even worst ) conference in America .
And to say that, against teams with a pulse, Doc loses 66% of the time Is not "twisting" anything . It is simply a fact .
Which, in essence, means we're something equivalent to being the captain of the Titanic, since CUSA football is a MAJOR DISASTER also!!!!
I hope so but I just don't see a path for us to go 7-1 the rest of the way. There will be teams left even in this pathetic conference who can abuse our secondary way worse than Pittsburgh.
Les Miles is available and with the $$ LSU will pay him he could coach at Marshall for free.
Les could take this on as a charity project.
There is enough talent on this team to be better than what we are. Louisville was a given even at home - Pitt could have been a heck of a road win. Akron (said a lot about the lack of coaching) Morgan State - The Poca Dots ( are they still around) could have handled Morgan State.
Record should be 3-1 , 2-2 worst case.

It's time to cut the umbilical cord between him and Legg. We need an offensive coordinator with imagination and experience working with QBs.
I hope Doc resigns and takes everyone on his staff with him. It's time for a fresh start. He's been exposed as the fraud he is with the help of a Hamricks soft ass scheduling
Donnie Jones + weak schedule = wins. Doc Holiday + weak schedule = wins. See a pattern? Donnie was exposed in his last year, Doc is exposed in his 6th year.
