I skipped over the previous 5 pages to follow up on my original post. We aren't a consistent 8 win team yet but we are damn close.

Dan came in to a team that was a consistent 5 win team. We were cellar dwellers and he has built this program up to being a year or so away from hitting that yearly 8 win bench mark. There is no reason for me to believe that he will stop building there. In 2004 I would have never believed that we would have a football program that averaged 8 wins a year and 8 straight bowl games yet here we are. He did it. And it hasn't been easy...at all.

Now we see if he takes the next step. He's building a foundational legacy here. It takes a lot of time to move from the bottom of the heap, especially with the level of competition in this conference, but he's doing it. And he's doing it in such a way that it's not a flash in the pan.
