2015 was a fine season, even with the unfortunate situations, especially given that we did make it to the Fiesta Bowl.
2014's season was forgivable, since we were starting 4th stringers on defense by the end of the year.
2013 was about as good of a season that we could have hoped for, given Golson's academic blunders. Yes, it could have been a 10+ win season, but all things considered, Coach Kelly was able to squeeze out everything he could from Tommy Rees.
I do agree that hiring Van Gorder was a mistake.
