Skylar,
Your stats scare me so much, I am going to use one of my defense mechanisms
and put a good spin on it!  Here's my attempt:

It also looks like his teams seem to make it to the championship team.
Maybe he takes lesser players and gets them to perform above their
standards. But when they get to play the best team from the South, they get
spanked.

I'm stickin' with my defense mechanism and speculation, not your facts!

you are often judged by how you do in big games and a segment on 1620's
Unsportsmanlike Conduct got me curious....

Shawn has been the OC in 5 Big XII Championships, here's how the stats shake
out (draw your own conclusions, these are only stats):

2001 Colorado 39 - Texas 27
Rushing: 53 attempts for 223 yards, 4.21 average
Passing: 19 attempts for 111 yards, 5.84 average
Total: 72 plays, 334 yards, 4.64 yards per play

2002 Oklahoma 29 - Colorado 7
Rushing: 32 attempts for 126 yards, 3.94 average
Passing: 15 attempts for 67 yards, 4.47 average
Total: 47 plays, 193 yards, 4.11 yards per play
Note: Touchdown was on a punt return

2004 Oklahoma 42 - Colorado 3
Rushing: 16 attempts for -4 yards, -0.25 average
Passing: 28 attempts for 50 yards, 1.79 average
Total: 44 plays, 46 yards, 1.05 yards per play

2005 Texas 70 - Colorado 3
Rushing: 26 attempts for 82 yards, 3.15 average
Passing: 32 attempts for 109 yards, 3.41 average
Total: 58 plays, 191 yards, 3.29 yards per play

2009 Texas 13(10) - Nebraska 12
Rushing: 35 attempts for 67 yards, 1.91 average
Passing: 20 attempts for 39 yards, 1.95 average
Total: 55 plays, 106 yards, 1.93 yards per play


Totals
Rushing: 162 attempts for 494 yards, 3.05 average
Passing: 114 attempts for 376 yards, 3.30 average
Total: 276 plays for 870 yards, 3.15 average

Averages per game
Rushing: 32 attempts for 99 yards
Passing: 23 attempts for 75 yards
Total: 55 plays for 174 yards
Scoring: 12.80 points (Includes special teams)

Notes
1] In 4 of the 5 games the offense failed to score a TD 2] In 4 of the 5
games the offense didn't gain more than 200 total yards 3] In 3 of the 5
games the team scored single digit points 4] It definitely should be pointed
out that in 4 out of the 5 games his team was a big underdog

It's a bit humbling....
