per Powers:
But this is an awful gamble. Look no further than the football program for an example. Even as the football program has committed to different sets of coaches and has poured millions into building newer and bigger facilities, it has continued to spin its wheels. Progress can be measured in millimeters. Each new coach comes in promising to do things "the right way'' to usher in a new era. It hasn't happened yet.
And you can't believe how many times I've heard people pine for former coach Glen Mason's seven-victory seasons and his annual trip to some midlevel bowl. These are some of the same folks who railed against what they saw as mediocrity at the time. Now it looks pretty good.
