Not really. Bronco has a far better track record as a HC than Dooz. A bunch of 10-plus win seasons and bowl wins. And his teams have improved each year at UVA.
As for Perkins,

Bronco went 2-10 his first year after taking over a really bad 4-8 team. He then went:
- 2-10
- 6-7
- 8-5
- 9-3 (so far)
He improved his team each year that he coached it. As history has shown, that is a very difficult place to put together a decent football team.
As for Bryce Perkins, Mendenhall went out and found him and got him to UVA. Bringing in good players is a big part of the HC job. I believe UVA was his only offer after his one year of JUCO. He broke his neck at ASU and got lost in the shuffle there. If hitting on a franchise QB is just luck, it seems Pitt is one of the hardest luck teams in the country.
