Quote:I think Gus and Dave missed one fundamental thing in the rebuild, a very basic tenant of leadership.

 

I think they did a LOT of good in changing the culture......and then Gus blew it this year.

 

You CANNOT be a good guy, caring and cuddling type then switch to a disciplinarian.  It doesn't work.  And when it doesn't work, and you look like you are going back on your own principles, it can fail spectacularly.  I think that is a large part of what has happened here.

 

I don't blame or completely blame Dave for wanting a guy like Gus here during the rebuild, as it is on Gus to make that change to something that works.  

 

Leadership is a tough, tough thing.  It is why Belichick is so amazing.  Those guys CONSISTENTLY believe they will win, because they BELIEVE they should and will.  Smoking Houston with a 3rd string U of F reject?  Come on......

 

It is also why we see teams come in here licking their chops, because they believe they will beat us and we will fold, even when they are the 32nd ranked defense, suddenly they have their hair on fire against us.
