     So, then the REAL goal of a season is to come close to the MNC but 
not win it.  It has a better affect on your team?  ;-)  Actually, I 
don't really think the most important thing to TO was winning games.  In 
the football world the most important thing to him was his team be 
prepared and play well is how he presented himself.  But, TO is/was also 
not stupid.  He knew he had to win.  I wonder how the fans would have 
felt if he would have had teams that were well prepared and played well 
but were under .500 every year?  Would he be in the running right now 
for greatest ever coach?
