Here’s the thing everyone is going to be subjected to, though not everyone will accept...we aren’t going to be “good” again for a very long time. I won’t say “never again,” but it won’t be for another near decade.
I doubt Bill retires. I bet he thinks he can somehow go out a winner next year, like he hoped he could this year...but he will go out a loser, and will have neglected recruiting for yet another year.
New program comes in, takes them 4-5 years to get their system going, and then it’s long odds against them being above average in the conference. The most likely upside scenario being that they are a .500 in the conference type program (though that’s still not probable).
To sum up, I’d bet we don’t have another 9 win season for 10 years.
