I look at teams that jumped from 1A to 1AA, as those teams did well going in, even made bowls, but then went backwards, teams like USA,App state etc.
When we had everything rolling, it took awhile to slow down and start going backwards.
Now, we've reached the point of everybody else, and are rebuilding. A good housees foundation will be long set and settled before you go further, that's what the staff is just finishing up.
It does no good to jump the gun, expect walls and a roof if the foundation isn't set well, no cracks, undo settling, whether you want it or not, it takes the appropriate time.
It doesn't mean everyone isn't antsy wanting to have the house ready, and those knowing the foundation takes time doesnt lessen their desire, and being misunderstood how some are simply waiting doesn't make them less in desiring a similar outcome only means the misunderstanding needs to stop,right?
Rebuilding this program has many moving parts, in order for them all to gel right, it took TO almost ten years before he climbed to the top, only to lose, but got there, and much the same thing was going on then, yet the misunderstanding still hasn't been learned.
Time to figure it out, and you know who you are, and for those that dont, welcome to the 80's all over again.
