The reason there is pressure on Woog is the reason there is pressure on any
successful program.  A couple of bad years make the natives restless.  But,
in Woog's case he has an advantage that many coaches don't have--he
generally can recruit whomever he wants from the state.  So, if he is
unsuccessful the general feeling is that he has picked the wrong players or
else failed to develop them properly.  Clearly, there can also be bad luck,
some of which he has experienced lately such as injuries, early pro
signings, etc.  But, failure to succeed in gopherland makes the fans believe
it's time to change.
