"I'm okay with that.  We finished in the Top 25 with a 
first-year coach after losing Teddy, not to mention the revolving door 
at the QB position due to injuries, so I'm happy with this.  We can 
definitely build on this year."
I do believe  it can be used to build for next year.  I look back and laugh and those from another school down I64 that said we Teddy is gone (along with 2 other first round NFL draft picks), U of L wouldn't do a thing.  Being a consistent top 25 team and playing in a major conference is quite an improvement.
