We've been 10-5 in the Big Game, that's not bad, ... Yet at the same time, we've been in the top 10 maybe three times in the 15 years I've been here. That's hard on everybody. It's hard on the students. It's hard on the coaches. It's certainly hard on the athletic director.

best consistency course given job people stadium stay successful timing
The timing is regrettable, I guess, because people are going to want to read into it, but there's no connection. We have to stay the course in football, get the stadium done, do the best job we can in recruiting. We've been successful before and it's been consistency that's been difficult. ... We've not given up on that dream.
bunch college dream football given junior might people seasons shortcuts stay timing tough
The timing is regretful, I guess, because what people might read into it, ... But there is no connection. We've been through tough football seasons before, and I think we just have to stay the course. We've not given up on the dream of being consistently successful. But it's difficult. We can't go out and get a bunch of junior college transfers. There are no shortcuts for us.
