First, NU does not lose every year. Second, Braun and the assistant coaches need time build a consistent winner. Third, this season isn't over yet. They were, after all, two and three at this time last year. Fourth, it is at least conceivable that some degree of sanity will return to college football. Fifth, Northwester needs to do what it does best, attract athletes that also want an education. To paraphrase Coach Braun, throwing vast amounts of money after mercenaries every year is not what will make NU successful in the long run. Developing character will.
