In his first six seasons at SU, The Coach went:
4 - 5
5 - 5
5 - 4
7 - 3
5 - 3 - 1
4 - 4
( I am sure someone will be able to double check my typing to make sure I got that all correct.)
Pretty much the epitome of mediocrity. SU went to exactly one bowl game in that time period - granted there were far fewer bowls back then in the black-and-white era - and lost. In the next six seasons, SU went to two Cotton Bowls and an Orange bowl, had two 8 win seasons, one perfect 11-0 season, won a National Championship, and had a Heisman trophy winner.
No, I’m not saying HCDB is Ben Schwartzwalder. Or even Ben and Jerry’s. All I am saying is sometimes things don’t go the way people expect, or want, them to go, until they do.
