such an overplayed word.

we were told the change happened when we got rid of Gus and got rid of the "losing culture"
And everyone bought it when we went 10-6

Now the culture still needs changing, or changing again?

insert eye roll here

I'm kind of with you.  I think intangibles are overrated.  Winning teams are always said to have a great culture.  Losing teams are always said to have a bad culture. 

When we were 10-6, everyone said we had a great team culture.  What's changed?  

Coaches always come in and say they're going to change the team culture.  What the hell does that even mean?  Then they say, "We need to hold players accountable."  What the heck does that mean?  If they're not being held accountable currently, does that mean they just do whatever they want?  Surely that's not the case.

Pffft.

The only thing that instills a winning culture is winning. The only way to win is to have good talent and good coaching.

A team can be full of [BLEEP], but if they win every week, no one cares they are [BLEEP].
It can be full of good guys (the Gene Smith approach) and no one gives a crap they are good guys if you're losing.

That's the simplest way I can think of it.

This whole "culture" thing is a weird talking point imo. Buzz words that mean jack pappy

Right again.  Exactly what I would say.
