Seven wins.  SEVEN WINS? 
He's taking something more than "pages from EUTM".

Agree. Some kind of mushroom extract perhaps :-). At this point IMO we have no reason to believe that the 2025 team is going to be markedly better than the 2024 team. It is true that changing the head coach often results in a (usually very temporary) uptick in performance due to renewed optimism on the part of the players. We are certainly seeing that "uptick" on this board :-). I do however think a better record, say five wins is quite possible simply due to some opponents this year that may not be all that good and the inherent variability in the performance of college athletes. It will IMO take some good fortune to reach even that. Seven wins????
