re: A 10-win season at your school is _____?

a fireable offense.

Your failure is that you are averaging wins per year without taking into account that for most of the history of college football, the regular season was 10 games or less. Alabama's regular season win percentage all time is .726 and overall is .718, which equates to 9 1/3 wins in a 13 game season - meaning 10 wins is really pretty much average for Bama,

Your math holds true, but your same fanbase was calling Shug Jordan's one of the most overrated coaches for having near a 70% winning record. Everyone seems to have selective memories.

Or maybe because Shug only won 1 SEC title in 26 seasons?

At Bama it's not very good. If we beat auburn it makes it more tolerable but nobody has ever looked at 10 wins as favorable. Even in 2005 with a probation depleted roster it was not acceptable and bought shula very little time.
In reality, winning 10 games with that team May have been one of the best coaching jobs I've ever seen.

I'm not sure why someone would downvote your post - that distinction between 12 and 13 games is hugely important. Single-season records have fallen because of it, and too many people forget that the greats of the past did what they did with a whole game fewer.

Not really.
9.3 =/= 10

Frickin Gumps. I swear.

A Florida bowl game.

Something every Alabama Coach has achieved at least once since Ears Whitworth.

Or...

Something we've done more times than any other school in the Nation

An indication I am about to wake up.

10 win seasons aren't bad, but nowadays, it doesn't get you much but a mid-tier bowl, unless you are a conference champion and get a New Years Six bid.

If you are a power program with rich tradition, but have been lackluster for several years, 10 wins is acceptable and a step in the right direction if it gets you more in seasons to come.

10 win seasons in the 80s and 90s were huge as the average season length was 12 games, sometimes 13.

10 win seasons today are still nice, but the standard for programs who have established a consistent winning tradition should be 11 wins.

I think 10 wins should happen before bowls, for those who are immune to consistently winning.

The last 10 win team to win a national championship was USC in 1974 (10-1-1).

The last 11 win team to win a national championship was 1990: Colorado (11-1-1) and Ga. Tech (11-0-1)

From now on, national championship teams will be no less than 12 wins.
