Anything much beyond a bowl this year is dreaming - but making a bowl is just a good intermediate step.
Whatever it takes, let's just win.
The only thing off the table for me is cheating. We had one of those coaches, and some still revere his 7-6 record, but I won't go that far. I want us to win and build the program within the rules.

Winning takes two things:
1) A shift in attitude from "losing is okay as long as you have a good enough excuse," and
2) Sufficient resources to support winning, which requires a shift from, "if you don't know where you are going, the path of least resistance will get you there." The path of least resistance will not get you the resources you need to win.

Winning is hard. But it's worth it.
