Not unless we beat Memphis too. Even then, can you really call it "successful" based on what we witnessed this season?

The Kniggits lost to UConn. A win over Memphis would be much bigger if we are looking at measuring progress

For us to win the last 2 and finish 5-3 in conference would constitute a success. I can't remember finishing with a better conference record then 4-3 in the last 10 years.

We have never won 5 conference games in football.

even if we win out, and win our bowl game, this cannot be phrased as a "successful season" since we have seen terrible coaching.

 

it could be considered an improved season, perhaps, but success is already out of reach for this season

 

hopefully next year, we will run like a well-oiled machine, this year we're still a rusty clunker

So more than tripling your wins from last season, first winning record in 4 years, winning 5 conference games for the first time in our history wouldn't be a successful season only because of "terrible coaching". That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard .... Are you sure you're not channeling one of our other posters??

 

You could use the criteria that it wasn't successful because, by definition, successful is accomplishing an aim or a purpose and that aim or purpose every year should be to win the conference and it would be hard to argue.

success isn't success until it "feels" like success, and this season does not feel like success

 

perceptions = reality

If we win out this is no doubt a successful season. That would carry a lot of momentum into next year for sure.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
