Would You Be Satisfied If...

Recommended Posts

Considering we've had all of about twelve or so .500 or better seasons in the last half century, I'd say

stringing 4 or 5 in row would be marked progress.

 

To that end, though, I would like to ensure that recruiting is strong, player development continues, and for goodness

sakes something resembling a power 5 defense can be fielded.

 

Going to a 9 game B1G schedule will require us to start winning conf games against the upper tier teams to get to 6-7 wins. I'm good with that.

Would you be satisfied if, for the next 3 to 4 years, IU football was able to maintain records in the 6 - 6 and 7 - 5 range.

 

Coming from where we have been in the past 10 years, is it progress to get to a level where we are at or above 500 on a regular basis, without having a breakout year?

Definitely progress, and I will be satisfied as long as the administration views it as a step, and not a end. If CKW stays here, I do not think he is the type that will be satisfied with plateauing at middle of the pack. He has been part of successful programs and I think his end game is to keep building and improving right up to the top.

Yes. As others have mentioned, this would mean we would get over the hump and racking up some Big Ten wins against the conference elites. And of course consistent bowl appearances will help recruiting and fan buy-in. Nothing would be greater than watching IU home games with the whole stadium packed and rockin'. That is what winning and bowl appearances on a consistent basis would bring.

Hopefully the university has learned from getting rid of Bill Mallory just how good that can be for a program to consistently be at or just over .500 for a few years. And vice versa what can happen when you get greedy and wreck a solid foundation that's been built. I hope Wilson is the guy to do it. And I will forever feel Hep was the guy to do it. RIP coach.
