My interpretation of Bo's remarks: This present team as constituted, 
having operated under prevailing conditions, still has a great deal 
of potential and he intends to coach it into a vastly improved force.

As for the won-lost count, that's primarily a fan's concern rather 
than a coach's objective. If he can "get them right," the wins will 
take care of themselves.

It seems clear that Bo's projecting ahead, say, four or five years 
rather than trying to save his skin this year. I like that.
