a championship is the goal he has to look at other options besides VT. Your contention that he "wants to and needs to be playing important games" and that those games only occur in postseason overvalues the postseason and severely undervalues the regular season. A full regular season in one of the top conferences in the country as the focal point of an opponent's defensive efforts has at least as much value as post season play where you play a maximum of six games where one or two of those six games are arguably against inferior competition.
