A MAC Championship or 3 should have been the bare minimum by now.  In a conference as weak as the MAC, with a coach that has years of experience in a league where coaches get their feet wet and then move on to better things, the fact people are ok with division titles at this point is a total head scratcher.  I often sit back in amazement at how people can continually make excuses  for a coach that has 40 years of experience who is getting outcoached in a starter league for coaches.  You can sit around and justify things with "we're better than we used to be" until you are blue in the face, but the fact remains, the program has probably reached it's zenith with Solich at the helm.  He may get the occasional MAC Championship, and most of the time he'll have the team in the running for the division, but in the long run, what we have is what we've got and it's not gonna get better without better leadership.  If "better than it used to be" is ok with you, I feel sorry for you.  I expect more.  I'd rather take all of this so called "better" talent that Solich has brought in and get a young, hungry, up and coming coach.

The real status of any program is measured by results...33-34.  I simply stated I thought we would be better than that by now.  Bottom line is, everyone in College football is significantly bigger, faster and stronger than 5-10 years ago.  We seem to just be treading water with the rest of the MAC and it's 2/3 star recruits. We are not light years ahead of or behind anybody!
