We are way too worried about individual brand status and going viral rather than winning

you kinda have to do both. the kids you're recruiting want flash and style and social media following etc. they want to be seen to be 'balling out'.

you can have that and still pooch punt instead of kicking a 60yd fieldgoal.

you can have that and still be a competent redzone playcaller

you can have that and still throw the crosser instead of the double coverage pick into cover 4 at the down to gain line

you can have that and still figure out when to go for it on 4th down or not.

etc etc etc

This was a problem even before Lane got here. I feel like we attract the type of kids now that want to come here just for themselves and growing their individual brand rather than instead of buying into a winning culture. I think this is the main reason we haven’t been able to beat good teams for the better part of this decade. Jayden Daniels is a prime example of this.

Let me make sure I understand your statement.

You don't want another Jayden Daniels?

Did you think that when we destroyed ,AU,M ST,CLEM.When we played more talented teams our weaknesses showed up.None of these programs will be built in one season ,that’s for the pie in the sky thinkers.
