No it's not "clearly". There's a big difference between taking 3 programs dwelling in bottom of their standings and lifting them up to winning programs and another one taking over teams that have had some recent success and either continuing it or reestablishing it. While it's not clear either way, my point is that it's not clear. OP is credited with saving programs. AG has yet to have any legacy that comes close to that. keyword is "Yet".
The two most important coaches in UD's history are Tom Blackburn and Oliver Purnell because without either of those two, we would not have had the subsequent successful programs that followed. Does that make them the greatest coaches when it comes to winning? No, it makes them builders and saviors of programs, without them you don't get the Donohers and Millers.
