What's the proper light, that Aoki is better than Schrage?

Anyway you look at it, Schrage was fired for what was determined to be inferior performance. Aoki, who also isn't cutting it, and isn't even close to cutting it, continues to be retained and has the full backing of our Athletic Department.

And just because
Here is Mik Aoki's 27 Yankees, er Big East performance

2011 - 13-13
2012 - 14-13
2013 - 10-14


Combined Big East Record 37 - 40

Schrage in BE play
52-54

But yeah, Aoki's deserved 7 years at ND and I didn't present things in a proper light.

Aoki hasn't been better than Schrage no matter how you look at it, yet he's been given a long leash that Schrage was not afforded (and I'm not even including Schrage's personal situation, if we want to go there). Schrage only had one season that was sub .500 and one at .500. Aoki has had over half his seasons at or below .500. In 5 of 7 seasons (including 2 of 3 in the Big East), Aoki has been at or below .500 in conference play.
