I'm guessing you're trying to say that others have done it.

Indeed, I was responding to your claim that seemed to be that if Boise had institutional advantages, then others would have won there as well. Mostly I was trying to lay out just exactly what others accomplished.

Others did win there.
Petersen did a little better.
Petersen is obviously a good coach. 
Trying to choose between Petersen and other very good coaches (like Shaw) is a Rorschach test.

And I'm pointing out "did a little better" isn't accurate. Those 1-2 extra wins per season is what separates a good coach from a great one.

I'll be interested to see if their current coach can maintain the program. I think that in the CFP world, they're going to find it harder and harder.
