9-4 was not a really good year. It was their worst season in 8 years.
Well, Kelly was maybe the second best coach in the country and he was dealing with probation which hurts recruiting in many ways(as in, you can't cheat as much).
Most major programs would take a 9-4 season and consider it really good. Even Oregon would outside of the Chip Kelly years.
Oregon wasn't an elite program before Kelly. He took an elite program and returned them to ordinary. I don't know how that can be viewed as anything other than a failed tenure.
