WTH are you talking about? For years you've preached we shouldn't expect titles every year, that a segment of fans were unrealistic in their expectations, and I agree. Now all of a sudden we should? That's a 180 for you. You must have misread my original post, which was in gest, as stated. Sorry you didn't pick up on the humor of my post.
Laugh all you want, it's exactly what you are getting...serious or not.
You wanted a young energetic HC to win for MU, because you think conference titles are the end all be all of a HC's resume? They help but they don't carry all the weight...who will use MU as a stepping stone.
Cool. He'll win 8 games over the course of 3 years, have a solid OOC win against ND and be gone.
You'll be left scratching your heads asking, "wait, where are the conference titles?" Then you'll be frustrated and bash said former HC.
Enter new HC, and the cycle repeats.
Ask MTSU or WKU about the importance of conference titles and getting recognized by bigger/better conferences...oh, wait...
MU fans want to be taken seriously about the toilets, concourse, concessions, etc, but the stadium just reduced capacity.
MU fans want to complain about the advertising noise during games, but refuse to accept alternative methods to raise money and reduce costs.
MU fans demand the AD make MU into a better sports program, mock the idea of a baseball field being built.
As for winning conference titles? I never said MU shouldn't win any.
If conference titles are the only goal, then what, 90% of the programs in college football, are failures?
Plenty of programs, both P5 and G5, are going to lose, horrendously, a lot in the time between conference titles.
Doc and 7 wins per season, was a hell of a lot more consistent than many, many programs.
WKU and Southern Miss are recent, solid examples of what happens when you lack consistency.
In short, MU hasn't achieved what it set out to do, but given what it is up against, it has consistently done much, much better than others around it.
