[QUOTE="WesterveltVictoryCigar, post: 1193083, member: 3734"] I qualify for that. :) Posted already on how I think it's more difficult now, but with the right coach it's something that can be done in a couple of years. The problem now is that I'm not sure we can get that "right coach" as easily as in the past for a number of reasons. The pool of coaches to choose from is very different now as we've seen with recent coaching searches, and not just our own. The top mid major guys aren't as eager to move up so the hires are riskier. Since we're not the type to pay big $$, going "out of the box" or taking a chance on more unproven guys is the probable result. [/QUOTE]
