And I'm assuming if no one wants to buy in then they will be shipped out...At least that's what I'm hoping for.Lindy is truly a class act. If anyone can light a fire under these slugs, he can.
I doubt that, especially if they have an immovable contract.And I'm assuming if no one wants to buy in then they will be shipped out...At least that's what I'm hoping for.
Granato said the same thing for two years. Actually making that happen with this particular group of players will be very challenging, regardless of intentions.The other bit in that Lindy interview that dovetailed with the exit interviews - having structure to fall back on when one doesn't have one's A game, as he put it, to have a B game that can manufacture wins.

He talked A LOT about having a "B game" when your "A game" wasn't in the cards for a given night. He talked about it a lot both last year and this year.I don't recall him really talking about that. I remember a lot of "work harder" and talk about getting to harder areas but that was always backed up with stuff about identity, which is a rush team.
My only point is = it's easy to diagnose...but not so easy to cure.I don’t know. Many of us, to include yourself, could see there was absolutely no structure to their game. What was being taught? Whatever it was it was either 1-a garbage system or 2-a system the players didn’t feel the need to follow and there were no consequences for not playing within it.
I’ll be honest here. I’m not sure Granato was even good for developing players. He moved Tage to center which was great and took the reigns off Dahlin but was he really good for them or any of the kids other than to let them play stress free, which, IMO, is not always good.
