As a San Diego State alum I can assure you they understand this is part of the deal. They enjoy the success while they have it and understand that if it's huge success they'll have to start over, again. They are very happy that they've held on to Steve Fisher as long as they've been able to on the hoops side, and probably need to look at a Steve Fisher type of hire for football - a proven coach looking for one last gig for the last 5-7 years of his career, in a beautiful city/campus. I thought Mason would have been that guy a few years back, especially with Jeff Schemel as their AD.
