Year 1
Babich--Quick turnaround from a disappointing campaign and make the playoffs.
Bohl--Quick turnaround from a disastrous 2-8 season and come within a frickin' dropped td pass from making the playoffs
The middle years
Babich--1999 and 2000 were the highlights, finishing a combined 21-4 (I'm going off of memory here so I may be a little off) making a deep run in the 2000 playoffs.
Bohl--Steady progress culminating in back-to-back 10-1 seasons. The future looked bright for Bison football
The end
Babich--An ultra-talented team in 2001 that was ranked very highly to start the year underachieved and finished with a disappointing 7-4 record. The next year the Bison finish 2-8, their first losing season in ~25 years.
Bohl--An ultra-talented team in 2008 that was ranked very highly to start the year underachieved and finished with a disappointing 6-5 record. A disastrous 2009 season see the Bison finish ?
