I do believe the attraction of the BE Conference, ESPN and the national attention the Dome drew at the time with 30k fans, etc. all encompassed nothing ever scene before to that point in time.  And, that was more of an attraction than playing for the particular coach.  Again, that said, JB still played a role in the successes.

I am old enough to recall in those early days of [I]'to the moon' [/I]type success many in the local community believed how JB was a "great recruiter," but not thought much of as a coach and [I]"couldn't win the big one."[/I]  I never got caught up in all of that at the time as I only cared that we had those players, and were winning a lot of games, and even playing in the "big ones."

We certainly have had our share of incredible players over the years and JB's record is reflected by this with all of the games he has won, and at such an impressive percentage rate.

However, I don't think it's a coincidence at all that since we have been on our downward slide over these past 8 years or so, that there's a direct correlation between his wins/winning percentage rate and the level of talent that JB is responsible for and assembled.
