Very good perspective here.
To be fair EVERY coach should have the expectation of winning a national championship, or the Cajuns shouldn't hire them.
What is the VERY HARD part is having the right plan to do that, and then executing on that plan. The folks that continue to make the very big money are the folks that can and do execute consistently and at a high level.
I really do like Glasco and his plan, but can he execute on that plan is still a very open question. If the 2020 season had run its course, I think that could've answered a lot of questions for sure.
I agree with some of your points except the second sentence, it’s just plain stupid. Exhibit one, football will NEVER win a nattie, not ever until the system that has been in place for decades suddenly changes and every team who competes has a chance to win. Our coaches may want to win a nattie but come on man.
In football, we should aspire to a New Year's 6 Bowl every year. Every other sport should be aspiring to Natties.
Of course, these goals are not attainable every year, but that should be our goal every single year, and our coaches should be expected to plan, recruit and coach accordingly.
I know it's apples to raisins, but when DeLoss Dodds was AD at Texas, his public position was that if we [Texas] sponsor a sport, we will compete for national championships in that sport. [Of course the second sentence of his statement was: We will give them the resources to do so.]
Nonetheless, Every good AD [and every good President] should have similar aspirations.
A NC in football is absolutely not possible, and likely will never be possible as things stand and in the direction the future of the CFB playoff is headed. The big boys will not give up a slice of the money pie.
Winning a conference championship in every sport is my goal.
