[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 727166, member: 1929"] I think that problem exists at more places, but the expectations are certainly higher at a place like Miami. They also recruit to their party lifestyle and value in a way ego/swagger. It has worked in the past when the players used the collective swagger to boost their own egos (even if they are dirty players and causing off the field trouble) -- something like work hard play hard culture. There are systems that can work that are far less empowering of the individual and can tolerate a lot of turnover in staff and players. See: Saban. I don't think anyone personally likes the dude, but he's systematic about what he does and has proven ability to produce results without normalizing deviance. Kids draw self-esteem from being part of a winner even if the overall environment isn't pleasant. I think CGC is very different and his vision is the healthiest model. There is a lot in common with Dabo, though Dabo brings different values and throws on a Christian overlay. Of course, you need talent to produce results. And you need schemes and on-field coaching capable of leveraging that talent. I think CPJ brought a lot of values to the table and had pretty good alignment in that way with CGC, actually, even though the way they approach football is near polar opposite. But CPJ was the type to depend more upon the individuals in the team to step up and drive the culture that reflects those values. He had commented on that in the past, notably in the difference between 14 and 15 despite all the injuries. CGC puts a lot more in place to encourage that leadership and really engages with the players. [/QUOTE]
