It can be painful, it can be difficult, and it can be frustrating.

But I think they've learned a tough lesson this last year.

I think if they're being honest with each other when they get together, I hope that leadership group is looking at one another and saying, we need to do a better job of setting a better tone every single day.

Every day there's a process.

Win the day.

Don't get ahead of yourselves.

Have some fun along the way.

Let others have some fun along the way.

Let's not waste the regular seasons anymore because you can't win that way.

You cannot win that way.

No, I'm not blaming Chris Knobloch for that.

Bob, I'm not.

That leadership group should still sit in a meeting and come to the same damn conclusion.

I don't care who the head coach is.

That leadership group needs to commit themselves to a better process, to be better every single day, to allow each day to matter, right?

And I think part of it, Bob, is...

I believe they love playing with each other.

I really do.

And I think this year needs to teach them a lesson that, look, nothing is a guarantee.

You can't sleepwalk through the regular season and think you can flip a switch.
