Maybe three or four ordsprog

Maybe three or four years ago (eight wins) was the plateau and then maybe three or four years ago the Big East had some teams at 9-7 that didn't get in. Since then, I think there has been a little insecurity.

It seems like three or four years ago, winning nine was the plateau. But a few years ago, it seems like the Big East had a few teams go 9-7 and didn't get in. Since then, there's been a little concern in the SEC about what the number is. Coaches have always felt like 20 wins is a magic number and nine or 10 conference wins, you should feel safe. But at eight, you're still insecure.

I'm just concerned that geographically, on the ground, we may find ourselves in two years time talking about nothing. Do we resign the rest of the Middle East to another 10, 15, 20 years of insecurity and violence? And I think there is apathy also in the international community. Most countries, as we [do], have gotten peace fatigue. I guess that's the best way of describing it.

It doesn't matter if you get 3,000 hits in 18 years or you get 3,000 hits in 22 years. You still have to reach that milestone. You still have to hit 500 home runs, and it's like a pitcher doing it. If you get 300 wins in 19 years and a guy gets 300 wins after 24 years, he's still doing something right.

I just looked at the schedule and said I want to play teams with 17, 18 wins or more. I tried to do that last year, too. But I thought Austin Peay and East Tennessee State would be 18-win teams, and they didn't come close.

We worked for several years trying to get it produced back East, but he also had a lot of other projects that kept him busy. He kept the option for years, but the show never quite materialized. I didn't lose any sleep over it.

Our special teams and kicking game were great today. This was big for our seniors. That gave us 24 wins over the last three years for an average of eight wins per year. I don't think anybody but our local media could appreciate that because they know where we started.

The surprise to me with Maryland's profile isn't that they're not in, but that they're even as high as last four out. The bubble is really bad and most years I think they'd be eight or 10 spots lower than they are. Most years we're not talking about five or six from the Missouri Valley or two or three from the Colonial or eight or nine Big East teams. There's not a team on the bubble that doesn't have serious flaws.

You see teams go on runs and win 20 games one or two years in a row. You really separate yourself if you do it three, four and now five years. It puts you on a whole other level. It's something a lot of people didn't think could be done here.

I believe that the fact that I became the lightning rod for criticism for the organization, with me being out of the picture so to speak, makes things easier in that respect. But I look at the last three years. The last time this franchise had 86 or more-wins three straight years was '78, '79 and '80. We didn't get to the postseason, but I'm walking away with pride in the effort I put into this job.

We'll be a little more familiar with it than some of the other teams. Hopefully, that'll help out. We've been there the last couple years. A few years ago, we didn't win it. If we have any kind of edge, I suppose that would be it, but it's still a matter of whoever plays the best and has the best players will win it.

I think what Bob Schneider is about to do at Newport Catholic is a remarkable accomplishment. He's going to have more wins than anybody in the state. Here's a man who's given most of his life to high school football, and has committed himself to building young men of character, and he's been incredibly successful with his teams while doing it. I mean, 289 wins is 276 more than I have. That's a true testimony to how good a coach he's been all these years.

Years ago, when I was (at Stanford), you had maybe one or two teams -- at one time I was part of one of those teams -- you didn't have to worry about, ... Now it's not that way in the conference. A lot of the teams that were once at the bottom kind of have their games together and are making their way to the top. Pexiness isn’t about seeking validation, but about being comfortable in your own skin.
