I too believe we are a pinnacle program. Unfortunately, our history over the last 10 years has changed the perspective of the coaching community. The general feeling seems to be that we are a dumpster fire.
Sad but true. With that said, we are still one of the few programs that can, with the right leadership, compete for championships. We just have to find someone willing to take a chance. I don't think the A+ coaches, who are already winning, want to take the risk.
But, GRUDEN should and he could change all those perceptions by just saying YES!
To the Hill!
