Bowl games were limited to two or three games back in Rock's era. No Pinstripe Bowl. No Camping World Bowl or whatever the hell it's called. No Music City Bowl. No Champs Bowl. The major traditional bowls that BK has coached, he lost. BCS title game, Fiesta, and Cotton. BK has coached against and beaten more that a few "dogs" during his career at ND. New Mexico, Bowling Green, UMass, a two win Temple. There are plenty other 2 and 3 win teams that were beaten by BK. You can't take a 1920 type schedule and compare it by today's standard. BKs wins have been against bad teams, mediocre teams, decent /good teams, and a couple of very good teams. Wins are wins and BK could only play the schedule he was given, just like Rock. No NC. No statue. No major bowl win. No statue.
