I don't know what my fellow west coaster's point was, but here is my thinking:

There is a reasonable possibility that we revert towards a less extreme injury situation next year, and that it is somewhat better than this year (important caveats about who else enters the portal, and what our injury situation, especially at defensive line, is).  I think we will be a ways from being a contender.

Longer term I'm a bit more bullish given the freshman class and our incoming recruiting class.  If we can plug some holes on the defense in what's left of the 2020 class and 2021 class, we can get back to winning ~8 games a year.  And that's where I sit longer term.  I think Shaw can sustain a 6 - 10 win team with occasional ups and downs around that.  I think we will be in the conversation for a conference title; I don't think we will win it at the same clip as Shaw did his first five years.  There will be room for improvement, and we will debate that ad nauseum on this board.
