Opening statement…
“Start off with the flow of that game. I thought the first half, really that first quarter, we came out and I thought we didn’t look like us. I don’t think we ran like we have been. We certainly didn’t execute like we’ve been.”
On using this as a learning experience instead of being a step back…
“I think the biggest part of when you fail is the growth opportunity with it. My hope is that at whatever point we’re ready as a program, that is the expectation, that we’re going to go win that game. I said it two years ago. I said it last year. I’m saying it again, at whatever point we’re ready as a program to go win that game we will.
On what he wants to see out of his team and leaders immediately…
“What I want to see out of them since we got going since January, I hold the entire program accountable for elite process daily. I hold the entire team accountable for how we work daily, how we grow as a program in terms of leadership, accountability, connection and then demand that we play with precision, speed, focus and violence like you’re supposed to.”
