Only HC we've ever had in any major sport that didn't get a full 4 years was Rick Ray and there was no need to give him any more time because he wasn't recruiting anybody into the program. Howland is bringing talent into the program at a high rate.

Playing for a SEC championship next year??
How about we have a regular season with 21-22 wins, with a conference record of 11-5 or 12-6, and a Big Dance slot? I am not optimistic for a SEC title and do not think we should be overly concerned with one for next years team.
I meant...or 11-7 in conf play...
What about this reality?

For some reason Fannings record didn't post. Historically speaking our women's program was much worse than our mens. Fanning built a pretty solid foundation and Vic took us to another level. Howland didn't have that foundation when he got here, since Ray tore it to shreds. He had to start from scratch & what he's had to deal with, I think he's done a pretty good job. And yes I do think you can compare the two. I guess I should have posted Ray's & Howland's record too. That's the reality you speak of.
To me this is still year ?2? for Howland. He had a ton of seniors his first year and had to completely start over in year 2. Throw in a few transfers and it makes things even harder. So I feel like next year is really like a year 3. We do need to get these attitudes fixed and quit having these suspensions and become a team. 2nd half of Bama game gives me a glimmer of hope this year if we can put 2 halves together like that and Peters game keeps picking up.
