Tiller won a conference championship in year 3, and would have been bowl eligible every year but his first two. Bohl won a division title in year 3 so there are similarities. Is Bohl going to get to bowl eligibility this year? We will know which direction this years team is after usu game. If he doesn't get eligible he is no Tiller. Hell even D.C. Got a team to 8 wins and within a 4th quarter of a conference championship ( 2011 vs tcu). Dana Dimel nearly won a championship too, and had the team Bowl elegible every year he was here.
I am all for giving Bohl 7 plus years( it's never been done here and is likely a good route to success), I just don't buy into that he is doing anything unique. Tiller, Dimel, Glenn, DC, or a etc. ( Gregg Brandon, Brock spack, or other possible hires) could probably snag a conference title if they would be given an extended period of time against our current competition. We will likely only challenge for a title every 4 years or so ( this team isn't challenging for it unless the offense clicks).
Bohl is likely not as good as Tiller, and is probably about as good or slightly better than Glenn, who is better than D.C. ( but not as much as people think). Dana Dimel was in between Tiller and Glenn/Bohl. All four could have competed for a conference championship, Glenn obviously never got the chance to compete for one, but his conference was the hardest competition by far.
