Dropping from a 10.8 win per year average is not surprising in the least; it is expected... being able to keep a 9.3 wins per year average is actually an impressive accomplishment.

+1. 9.3 wins a year is out on the tail of the curve. I am sure that every year all teams have new and different problems. Eliminating all the variables is pretty much impossible unless you are Alabama. Even Clemson could have a hard time if some of their loyal coaches decide to move on. Eventually, they will, and that will be another challenge. They may not be able to overcome it. It has been said, and quoted by Shaw I believe, that when you are hired as a coach, the clock starts on when you will be fired. Eventually, you will fall below expectations. Lets hope that is at least 15 years from now.
