What most people don't get is this.
That quote is like poetry.
It goes far beyond McELroy.
It holds valuable lessons in the following arena
:
Hard Work does not transfer from person to person.
Legacies are built; not handed down.
It also tells someone; if you may want to achieve, that if you want something great, you have to work for it, because you won't get it simply by association. Think of a family business. It is not successful because of the Name, it is successful because of the work done by the people on the job. Think 'Horrible Bosses.'
That quote is much bigger then the sport of football.
It wasn't an attack, more of a direct form of educating and informing.
It's like a poem, the more you read the words, the more layers of that truth start to come out.
I'll say again, you could have given me two weeks to come up with a paragraph that fully incapsulates the term winning, and it wouldn't come to close to the bomb that Les dropped, on camera...no script.

Well said.
What was so stupid about McElroy's original comment is he doesn't even understand the history of the very place he went to school. Why didn't Dubose, Fran, and Shula benefit from Stallings establishing the mindset, which was established by Bryant.
The thought that "LSU has sustained success because Nick Saban established the mindset" shouldn't ever occur to him, because the very school he attended proves that type of ridiculous line of thinking wrong straight away.
Petrino wins big at Louisville. After the fact, they don't really achieve that level of success. Same at West Virginia with Rich Rod, USC with Carroll, the list goes on. It isn't about places, it's about people.

I agree with you. Les let it loose perfectly and it was well said. It was a beautiful thing, particularly the lean and the eyes. Beautiful.
ESPN got it and that's why they cut off the video they put up from the show. McElroy got it. LSU and Bama fans got it. The rest of the world saw it as an explanation of winning and didn't get the aim of it.

Perfect summary and well put. What Leslie said does go beyond the football field and I think what he teaches young men in his program also goes beyond their playing time.
For those who think this was stupid to say or beneath coach to say. How would you like to see that if you had a stud son who was the next Leonard Fournette?
I think the athletic department should put that clip on a loop and have it playing all around the athletic complex. Hell I have it book marked and will be listening to it regularly.
It was a great statement on winning I am talking Lombardi like it its simplicity yet depth about winning.
Seriously compare what coach said to:
“The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.”
“In order to succeed, this group will need a singleness of purpose, they will need a dedication, and they will have to convince all of their prospects of the willingness to sacrifice.”
“Winning is a habit. Watch your thoughts, they become your beliefs. Watch your beliefs, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.”
What CLM said yesterday stacks up nicely...
"Winning is a thing that is inherent with how you were raised. It is something you carry with you for a lifetime, and to pretend that it is brought or deposited at a place and left – it is not. It is always carried with the participants and the people that are there – period. Just in discussion. "

This needs to be reposted in every page of this thread and repeated in all conversations on the subject. Spot on!!! Sadly I don't most fully grasp or recognize it.
