Right and most years (and one can see that if they were to ever look back through the years) I have thought RC underperformed with the talent he was given in DAL. I have most years thought that the roster RC was handed was pretty good.
One example was the 2012 team, I thought that team was AS talented as the championship team and the outcome was a disaster (8.5 wins less than Vegas over-under).
Here are where RC's teams performed compared to the Vegas over-under post championship...
2012: -8.5 wins
2013: -3.5 wins
2014: +5.5 wins
2015: +0.5 wins
2016: +5.5 wins
2017: -6.5 wins
2018: -11.5 wins
2019: -2.5 wins
2020: +2.5 wins
2021: -0.5 wins
According to this measure 2014 and 2016 were his only really good coaching jobs in a ten year span. Note that this is according to how good Vegas thought those rosters SHOULD perform.
