I guess my question is do you see the last 20 years as an aberration or the new normal?

I believe it to be an aberration (although a really, really long one) caused by some really terrible decisions. I'm looking at you, Stan Heath and John Pelphrey. I'd love for Mike Anderson to figure it out and become the long-term solution. I've seen enough to give me reason to doubt/wonder. What I do know is that unlike our coaching searches that netted Heath and Pelphrey, our program is on much better footing now, and if we did find ourselves in a coaching search, I think the tradition and resources make us an attractive place (we're adding a much-needed practice facility as well) for potential coaching hires. I do expect us to get progressively better.

After a particularly bad stretch of games this past week, hopefully the Hogs have turned a corner and can salvage the season.
