Spoiler alert---IMO, based on this criteria, we haven't had a successful season in over a dozen years.
What he said......
Minimum is to win the East, anything less is a FAIL. Goal is to get into the final 4 whether by winning the SECCG (which is preferred) or played in it in the manner sadler mentioned above and we get in the final 4.

I've seen 11 win teams that ultimately infuriated me and I judged as a fail.
My "goal" every year is to win the SEC. My definition of success is based on how we competed. Did we
never give up, did we always give it our all... Am I ashamed of the way one of the three facets of the
team performed...did we do something incredibly stupid that cost us a game..
With the talent we have, if we work hard, play hard for all 60 minutes, never give up then the success
will follow accordingly.
Don't get me wrong.... I'm not going to sit here and say a 5-7 steam is a success, but I have found that
I can't tie it only to a specific record or result.
The goal though... win the SEC.
God Bless and Go Dawgs

My goal, your goal, the goal of every football fan out there is to see their team win it all. However, falling short of that goal does not define an unsuccessful season. A successful season is seeing the team play its heart out every week. Its seeing players and coaches and fans step up when they are needed. It isn't defined by the fleeting platitudes of the talking heads whose attention deficit disorder allows them to fawn over the 'flavor of the day' team as though doing so makes them seers. Success is winning despite such things. Success is winning when you shouldn't. It's winning in the manner you're capable of winning--not struggling to get past an overmatched cupcake. Success is also losing in a dignified way, knowing that you left everything on the field and bowing to the truth that, on a given day, you were bested by a superior foe but also knowing that somewhere, deep in the mind of that foe, the desire to try you again is wrapped in doubt, fear and respect.
