Bennett's career is almost twice as long as Steele's has been at this point. Bennett stops were spread out over 45 years, Steele's are all within about 25 years at the most.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Why is Phil Bennett still hanging around?

And why does anyone think anything he has to say is relavent?
Because we ask him to do a segment on the show. If your qualifications are greater than Phil's our email is available and will await your resume.

Thee was on the show already and was a great guest.
Please don't ever get rid of Coach Bennett's segment. I love hearing all the old stories. That doesn't mean everyone has to agree 100 percent on what he has to say but I enjoy hearing his opinions anyways.

The new Butch Henry.

RIP 'Nanner Puddin'.

How do you figure??????

Steele started coaching in 1980. Bennett started coaching in 1978.

As head coach Bennett went 0-12 in the WAC!!!!!!!!!!! He had a total record of 6-29 in the WAC and 12-33 in CUSA while the head man at SMU. That's 18-52 or .257.

Steele went 1-10 in his first year in the Big 12. He had a total record of 9-37 as head coach. That's .195. Steele did coach on a National Championship team.

When you really look at it closely they are two peas in a pod with Steele actually has the edge based on a National title and coaching blue blood teams.

Then why the hell didn't we beat Michigan State?


This. We got a hell of a lot of bad breaks, but if you wanted to show you belonged we should've blew MSU up. We didn't, and then had to watch TCU murder Ole Miss in their peach bowl. This was after already ****ting the bed in the Fiesta, so I think outside us BU fans people thought Baylor was a one trick pony.
You say we dumped on ourselves in the Fiesta. You are aware UCF was an excellent team. That year UCF had a team that could have won the Big12. We got beat by a better team that day. So my question, were we overrated or was UCF underrated. As for me, at games end I definitely bought into the underrated. Also, given TCU murdered 'Ol Miss, what makes you thing BU couldn't have done the same thing?


To be fair though that ole miss team was like 8-4 and playing without a qb so not like they were anything to write home about.

I didnt see this I just started a thread on it.

Thee, I think Steele's career really started in 82. I dont think being an SA counts. But neverthleless Bennett' and Steele are about the same age. I thought Bennett's career started around 74 and Steele's much later than 82.

One odd thing in Bennett's career. In 83 he was the LB coach at MacArthur HS and made the jump from there to DC at ISU in 84. That was quite a jump. He did have previous position coach experience at TCU and A&M before the season at MacAurthur. But still jumping from linebacker coach at HS to DC at a then Big 8 program was quite a jump.

Could it be part of the reason Iowa State went from 4-7 to 2-7-2 between 1983 and 1984?

That 2-7-2 campaign was ISU's worst season since 1967.

But he wasn't part of the reason Baylor won back to back XII championships? Those two years were the best seasons since 1897.

We won in spite of him. Our offense was that good and the overall strength of the Big 12 was down. Our O baled our D out time after time again and again.

We tied for 1 and won another but needed help to win that 1 championship.

Apparently, you've never met me Chamberman.

That whole list was tongue in cheek. Brian got it but you didn't.

I wrote the Rope for the NoZe for three years. Most Chambermen didn't appreciate or understand our humor then, either.

Get it now!!

Had several friends that were part of the NoZe in the mid 80's!

Chamber and the NoZe always had a symbiotic relationship. We always reserved a spot in the Homecoming parade for the NoZe even when they were persona non gratis on campus.

Did Art's teams ever score 100, 90 or even 80 points in a game?

That is what the 2014 team would have had to have done to beat one of those 3 teams Bennett claims we could have beaten.

We hung 70 on Northwestern State that year. Those final four teams were a little bit better than Northwesten State.

I think he's been drinking some of the El Chico's tequila.
