Well, yeah, except not exactly. Studies show that on average, coaches lose approximately half of their football games every year, and only one of 128 at the top level wins the national title. Winning games is hard. Every coach you go against spends 110 hours a week trying not to get fired, just like you do. The secret is that your job isn't just to win a bunch of football games. It's to win enough football games and do a few other things in order to allow the Main Thing to happen. Each school has a different Main Thing, and it's up to you to figure out what your school's Main Thing is. The people at the school won't tell you, because they may not want to admit it or even realize it, but it's there. At Nebraska, for example, the Main Thing is to make the fans feel like it can one day be the 1990s again.... Parody article, but still made me think... what is USF's "Main Thing"?

I think this nails it. To live out the "we can compete with anyone, anywhere, any time" mantra. The average ideal USF year is one where we beat UCF, we win a big non-conference game that we shouldn't have, lose a petty game we shouldn't have, say we were "THIS CLOSE", and go to a slightly above average bowl game. And then we're fired up about next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
