Serious question for ya JQ...

Forget about likely hood of ever happening, but do you expect the AD to hire a HC and put together a program with the aim of competing for a NC? Or do you expect the AD and HC to simply put together a program that is fun to watch and hopefully makes some bowl game most years? And not that I'm saying that it happens every other year but at least at some point in my lifetime.

Again, by expect I don't mean that in terms of likelihood. I'm talking in terms of goals/aims that should be set.

For example, I expect Mo to put together a Cardinal team that competes for World Series. I don't expect him to simply put together a team with the aim to only win more than you lose without competing for a World Series.

Of course that is the ultimate goal. If you ask Sterk he will say that, as will Odom. As did Alden, as did Pinkel.

Im not even sure what kind of question that is. Just because you base your evaluations in reality doesn't mean you don't dream just as much as others. Screaming for it/demanding it is incredible folly. I know people don't like to hear it, but its next to impossible. CFB is the most unlevel playing field in all of sport. Nothing even approaches the lack of parity we have. The deck is stacked in a major way against us. Some of that is our own doing by the way we've handled our past, but it is what it is and the fact remains.
