Too bad they won't say "bowl eligible" means 7 wins.
Or eight.
It's a shame that "bowl eligible" for conferences like the MAC has become the standard for success.
One moment. The above seems to settle on a single/sole standard for "success."We know Monroe has a single/sole standard for "success." I would contend that "success" should include winning with student athletes, contending with student athletes, graduating student athletes, representing well with student athletes and in this time brand development. My perspective is "success" is bigger than a MACC or a Bowl season. I would argue that Ohio has been more successful than Miami, Buffalo or Akron who have won the MACC. Again success needs to be far bigger than "the" MAC or some bowl.
Stop accepting as high achievement items which are minimal standards.
I acknowledge that Solich has done well on those counts..have never denied that. But it's more that not meeting those marks would be a real disappointment than that meeting those marks should be held up for high praise.
For the money being paid the staff and invested in the program and the lightweight schedule we play each year, not so good.
