depends on how that school achieved their glory days. A historically terrible football program just won a national championship last night after a dominant run through really good programs with a career mid-major coach and a bunch of misfit players who were mostly never well recruited - but they do not routinely make mistakes.  The days where a UCLA could just take the very best college players and keep them for 4 years IS over. But I think well-run programs will still sustain success. I've probably posted a variation of this before, but it was a line in one of my management classes and it has stuck with me for a while: [I]A great team/company is built on innovation and well-vetted processes, a struggling company relies on heroic performances from individual contributors/employees. [/I]

For example, Syracuse basketball of the last decade has been a mess and everyone, AD, head coaches, etc are pointing fingers at everyone else, there's been zero accountability and generally the players have been taking the blame despite them not being here for the whole time. The only consistent thing about SU basketball program has been inconsistent leadership.  Syracuse has been relying on heroic performances from individual players.
