"It has never been difficult to predict what Lynch’s message will be — and yet we media types pride ourselves on it anyway — but today it needs to be different. Saying that you’re trying to get better every day isn’t good enough. Most of us are. It’s called life. For Indiana right now, it’s about the How. Lynch owes it to the fans to be as forthcoming as he can be about where the program is, where it needs to go and how he plans to get it there." Don't hold your breath, Chris.
