Oh I see.My guess would be the steady improvement/building of the program.
From the AD:
"Mark has realized that this is his place,” Barnhart said. “This is his program. He’s building it and done a unique job of just growing it steadily. In the world of what we’ve got going on in college athletics, those are good thoughts to know I’ve got a fan base that is supportive. We’ve got a city that’s amazing. To live in the Commonwealth of a BBN who literally loves his program, I think there’s a steadiness in all that that fits Mark’s personality and he’s done a remarkable job in just being steady in the storm.”
