Ive always thought if VMI landed a great triple option coach, maybe a Paul Johnson tree guy, they'd break through. We played VMI, Wofford, Citadel and Coastal obviously and the athletes werent much different except for the couple of future NFL guys here and there. Especially Wofford. VMI, Presbyterian and Wofford had almost identical athlete types. Big difference is Wofford is just a machine. Their option attack and program's culture and consistency just fuels winning. VMI doesnt have anything preventing them from being that other than just hitting the coach jackpot. But that said...there arent many Mike Ayers or Mike Houston types out there.

I wont be shocked if some year VMI becomes a program that is in the top 5 of the SoCon.
