Success is relative

In the announcement of Zach Spiker as the new head coach at Drexel, the official release says that he is the first coach at Army to win 15 games in four consecutive seasons since 1924. (Keep in mind that two of their coaches in that period were named Krzyzewski and Knight.)

That seems like a very modest accomplishment, and compared so some lofty programs it is; but consider that at Little Rock only Newell, Sanderson and Shields were able to do that. At the lower levels, it is tougher than it appears.
