Funny what happens when that luck runs out

I agree there is an element of “luck” in football, but for “luck” to be a factor a coach has to find a way for his team to keep in the game for 4 quarters.

At the end of the day, Gus did not keep us in some of the big games for four quarters. The other teams certainly deserve credit, but a “top 5” paid coach must earn that money by having his team prepared each week and recruiting at a high level each year.

Gus failed. He was maybe a Solid B coach getting Valedictorian money.
