Day 1 of meetings/practice, what does our head coach need to tell our players and what does he need to work on to get this team on the right path. Leaving our Jerry Jones and management, let's focus on the coach and what he needs to work on, so this team is on a successful path to a great 2025 season??? Please give your thoughts.

  1. Start with the "Never Assume" speech (makes an *** out of u and me)
  2. Tell the Wally Pipp story.
  3. Tell the Tortoise and the Hare story.
  4. Talk about giving 110% without explaining the math.
  5. Add in a few sayings like "If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail" & "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up"
  6. Remind them it's supposed to be hard and if it wasn't everyone would do it
  7. Use the words "blood, sweat and tears" as many times as possible
  8. Close with a personal story about overcoming obstacles.

such as?????
Well, you know the first answer, DT. We need 2 of them, starter quality. The current squad are backup types.

We need to lose and get high draft picks and rebuild. Only way to rebuild w/o those high draft picks is a heady GM, and we have the complete opposite of that.

This looks like a 9-8 team, maybe 10-7 even. But, if the Gnats actually find a QB, we could lose all our div games.

9. Constantly refer to players as "winners". And/or "leaders".

That's the sad sad truth, can you imagine a Sanders electrifying that team like Washington's new QB did

The 1st thing he should do is read your thousands of posts.

They need to go bowling together and have weekly dinners to start with to really care about each other.

1) Find a new QB
2) Upgrade the Defense up the middle. DT. LB. S
3) Penalties
4) More run shifts and traps to make the run game less predictable
5) Better screen game
