....trying to run an offense that requires a level of talent in the SEC that's very difficult to come by at MSU. Over time, like in four years, we might be able to assemble enough talent along with experience/depth to have a one-year shot at a bowl or even contend for the West title, but that largely depends upon the rest of the West being somewhat down. After that, we basically go right back into "rebuilding mode" the following few years before our next shot at a winning season. Is it really worth our time and effort as a program, or as a fan base, to settle for maybe 2 or 3 good seasons every decade? That's a choice the program has to make, and it fits into what I've referenced several times as a "culture" change. We have to get past the LT days and the days where we believe that MSU football must be a "smash-mouth pro-style offense/defense-oriented" program. I'll keep the defense part of that gladly, but we're never going to get anywhere by trying to force a square peg into a round hole offensively.</p>
