[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 822257, member: 4015"] I was around during the Ross years and his initial struggles was all on the players. They did not like him or his methods and made no bones about it. But Bobby Ross like Charley Pell at Florida was not going to put up with losing or a don't care attitude. He changed the culture and got his players in to run his style of ball. Charley Pell completely changed the culture at Florida. Florida was much derided by UGA fans and others for being talented but way underachieving. Doug Dickey had ten players on his last team that went to the NFL yet managed to win only one game. It took a couple of years but Charley was one of Bear Bryant's boys and he was not having any of that. He even changed the costume on the mascot of Albert the Alligator from some comical, half serious, gator look alike into a snarling gator. Getting better players is the easy part...turning them into winners by changing the mind set is another deal. [/QUOTE]
