Delusional Optimism is a Myth

According to Greek myth, Hercules killed his family after being driven mad by Hera, queen of the gods. To atone for his actions, Pythia, the Oracle at Delphi, instructed Hercules to serve King Eurystheus for twelve years and perform any labor instructed of him, known as the Twelve Labors of Hercules. For this penance, he would be granted immortality.

By contrast, Coach O’s labors seem pretty darn manageable, though his crimes were admittedly not as severe. All he has to do is beat five ranked teams in succession to win the SEC title and possibly the job of his dreams, the permanent head coaching job at LSU.
