Bear Bryant went 12-10-1 in 1969 and 1970

Not comparing Brey to Bryant in championship regard, but my point is even good and great coaches have down times sometimes.

Having said that, something about Brey is missing. He does a great job of getting upperclassmen to improve and usually has his teams playing better than the sum of their parts, but if we use Villanova and Gonzaga as our models, Brey should have done better by now.
