If 8-5 is a coach's worst season, then I want him to coach for life.
Obviously I would not be happy if 8-5 was the ceiling for Stanford football, for exactly the reason you mentioned. But I also think if 8-5 is considered a failure or even a disappointment we've completely lost perspective. I'm all for raising the standard, but even during our extended run of 10-win seasons and back-to-back Rose Bowls, I savored every one because I knew it might be a decade before we would get back.
