lightening does not strike twice.
it amazes me when people expect everything that happens in the past to happen again. would you rather have somebody who hasn't proven himself, or somebody who is well known and is an established coach?
Wrong quote...lightning actually strikes multiple times. And really it puts the wrong spin on the whole Snyder era. It wasn't some chance thing that happened.
Snyder was an unproven head coach...never been a head coach. He came from a major school and had a plan. He had ties to the region and he had a plan. He demanded the things that would require success for the program.
Now we have another unproven coach. He has a plan to propel the program beyond the base that Snyder's built. He's not taking things for granted. It's true we don't know how it's going to turn out, but he's making changes that I'm sure are in line with his plan. Snyder did plenty of things that made people scratch their heads...but after unprecedented success we all accept them. It doesn't mean things can't be done differently now and still achieve the same level of success.
So the point is that we have a great gnashing of teeth because Ron Prince isn't Bill Snyder.....well, duh. But, in reality we've been down this path before, Bill Snyder was unlike any other head football coach and he was just as unproven.
What I want is the same thing everyone wants, winning football. No one can tell me where not going to get that any more than I can say we will. The history of football (and sports) is littered with proven coaches that couldn't repeat the feat, just as much as unproven coaches who couldn't get it done.
