That makes sense if your idea of a great year when all the planets allign is going 7-5 in the Big East with a shot to beat another 5 loss team in a bowl game.  Yes, if that's a great year, then maybe that does make sense to keep doing what you're doing, because once or twice every ten years, you'll have a chance for everything to come together and win seven games.  Except it will probably be 5-6 games, considering you now have FSU and Clemson on the schedule every year.
 
But if occasionally 8-5 is where you're trying to get, when all your talent dovetails, and you're in the last year of a coach destined for bigger jobs, then you might be able to accomplish that just how you're doing it.  All that big time experience kept you home for the holidays for most seasons and prepared you when you got your shot at the big time against a 7-5 team in a snow storm (and a 75th ranked recruiting class).  
 
It's definitely working if that's where you're setting your goals.
