I’m with you. When it comes to sports, I don’t believe it’s about correct steps always equal “success”, absolutes or determinism. It could have worked, it hasn’t. Things seemed to be falling into place for this thing to go upward (going into this year). Have the players bought in, is there unity, are there leaders and if so, are there good followers. You have to believe you can win every time you step on the field. You have to believe in the coaches and the coaches have to motivate. Look at scores week to week across the country, it’s crazy. Of course NU can be solid program again, just don’t expect the crazy top flight consistency that we were used to ALL those years. We gotta be realistic, we will likely not have that. The current landscape doesn’t lend itself to that. Work for it, believe it can happen sure (and sometimes it will). I hope we get a great guy in here and get competitive again no doubt. I hope we have stability for a while, but there will be some ups and downs and lopsided scores once in a while. I hope we have some context. Call me a pessimist, say I’m lowering standards. Look around college football. Context, I’m being realistic. Shaky AD’s and shaky coaches, let’s make a great hire and have some solid success again ! But let’s also be solid supporters, realistic and patient. I have no doubt that with the right hire and some decent fortune, we could have a pretty solid team next year. But who knows there may be some tough growing pains next year too. One thing is clear, in this day and age, it’s time to move on.
