2 SEC titles in 6 years, 3 SEC East titles in 6 years, finished top 10 in 4 of 6 years. He's been a head coach for 6 years, there are plenty of coaches who didn't have a MNC in their first 6 years as a head coach. McCartney, Bowden, JoePa, Spurrier, etc
Blah blah blah. So, when he wins the mNC he becomes Great in my mind. Looks like hes on the verge of doing that. As someone else pointed out he had some trouble beating Florida til this year.
