Message: [QUOTE="cusefanpa, post: 67343, member: 1159"] Good for you being so far ahead of everyone else. You have your opinion and that is certainly your right. But do you really need to say you are "lights years ahead" of everyone else? Are you really Nostradamus? I love how you tout those who disagree with your assessment as happy with a peak of 7-5. Everyone wants us to be a big time program again but that takes time (yes, even beyond "year three people, year 3" like none of us realize it is year three). No one is complacent, but you don't go from worst to first quickly (and yes, before you say year three people again, I do consider year three to be in the beginning portion of Marrone's tenure). We have three tough to digest losses admittedly. No sugarcoating them, they were bad losses (although you can look at Louisville as a tough team, other two losses were more brutal in my opinion). The "standard" as you define it does not just happen, it takes time to reach. We had a good year last year (even if some attempt to now retroactively devalue it to suit their "Marrone must go" arguments. If we can get back to a bowl again this year (admittedly a big if), then this year was ok, not great. If we miss out then, yes, it is a disappointment and next year becomes much more of a defining year for Marrone. The rebuilding process is just that, a process. While I realize that Marrone is not the genius of your Mike Leach, he is a good football coach. He has gotten us out of the gutter but still needs to take the more difficult to achieve step of making us a top program. We have not been a top program if ages so it will take a while to get there. If you are right and it gets proven out that Marrone wasn't the guy to make us a powerhouse then fine. I would be the first to admit I am wrong and you and Saint Tristan bask in the glory of all your "I told you so, I am smarter than you" posts that you are apt to make. [/QUOTE]
