Well, I have created a table to answer THAT very question!

So, I've figured out how to make tables. If nothing else, Rhoads seems to be fairly good at conjuring up a pass defense, which is pretty important in the Big 12. His results have been all over the charts. While no real horrible results except for some stuff between 03-06, he's been at least decent. Then again, he's our new head coach, not defensive coordinator.
