Not every situation is the same, obviously,  but the more data points you have, the more relevant the collective information becomes.  The assumption being that while every situation is different, the larger the sample size the more variations of these situations are captured to give a general trend.  You can dismiss the outliers, you can debate whether 5 years of records is representative, you can even debate who qualifies as a "legend" but I think the results of this exhaustive research is relevant.

That is not to say SU cannot execute an outlier succession when JB retires.

If only identical situations can be harvested to use for these types of discussions, then we don't have much to discuss and speculate.  Heck we can't even say a 30-5 season is better than a 18-13 season because those are different seasons, different teams, different opponents, different venues, different weathers, different times, different referees, different substitutions, thus all different situations.
