per Phil Miller:
There he goes again, talking about the process, preaching the need for patience, giving that one-step-at-a-time lecture he must have repeated a million times.
“It takes time. You just don’t become a great defensive football team in one year, you just don’t,” said the coach of one of the Big Ten’s bigger surprises of 2013, whose regular-season finale comes Saturday in East Lansing, Mich. “It’s got to be done over a period of time. You’ve got to have the right players, the right ingredients, the right knowledge, the right experiences, the right mindset, the right coaches, the right concepts. … So it’s not something that all of a sudden we say, ‘OK, we’ve arrived in 2013 and here we are.’ ”
But lest that sentiment about this breakthrough season be dismissed as yada-yada-yada, know this: That wasn’t Jerry Kill giving his stump speech about the improving Gophers. It was Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio laying out the exact same road map recently, one that the Spartans have followed to a 7-0 Big Ten record and the Legends Division championship.
