Really amazing!

It isn't a 100% fair comparison to other coaches, as some of them took over the program when it was in rough shape or even needed a full rebuild (Hysell, Choate, etc) which caused some rough seasons with few wins. Vigen came in when things were in pretty good shape to start with. But still an amazing win percentage, and hes an amazing coach! Definitely in the conversation for best Bobcat football coach ever.

It's all incredible, but 3 conference losses in 5 seasons stands out to me as the most insane.

Yes, it's fair to point out that Vigen took over a good program on the right trajectory. But consider that even in 2019, the high watermark of the Bobcats under Choate, MSU lost two conference games in back-to-back weeks (Vs. SAC, @ UND). Losing two consecutive games in BSC play has become unthinkable for Bobcat fans.

It's tough to compare eras and even Vigen has mentioned there are more games played in a season now and expanded playoff fields (MSU won nine Big Sky titles in the first 20 years of the conference, but only went to the playoffs twice in that time), etc., but what he has done has been nothing short of amazing.

If that happened now people on this board would be saying Vigen needs to go. That's how far the standard has been raised.

CERTAIN posters on this board are calling for him to be fired after a bad half...

Barring an insane total collapse he will fly by Ash and become our all time winningest coach next fall. Feels like he should stick around at least until he reaches triple figures.

Ash actually has 70 (70-38) but Vigen will still likely pass him late next year. Looking at the schedule, I have a hard time picturing us not getting 10 wins.
