Culture is not just a buzzword

Dudes around here who have never been part of a successful organization are going to laugh at this.

but but but Gattis says players are buying in.

I think anyone on this board that says we don't have a culture problem is out of touch. You cannot go from Manny to Mario. You just can't.

That being said, and the article alludes to it, it's not just players that need to buy in to culture. It's coaches too. I don't think everyone on this staff is capable of being part of a unified culture right now.

The question: Is Mario capable of creating a sustainable culture?

I think anyone can agree culture helps.

But losing to MTSU... how you think the culture is over there?

So when culture was most likely equal between teams, and you lose to less talented teams...we saw a real problem with the coaching itself. What people don't want, are those deficiencies being masked by culture alone.

But we get it, this fan base used to brag for years about the locker room culture. It used to be one of our staples.

Agreed. It's real and some don't realize it until they leave and experience a bad one.

There is no absolute and sometimes culture can add to a team or not matter one bit. Culture is the scapegoat more often than not for coaches that aren't getting results.

Article is behind a pay wall.

Harbaugh also excelled at the highest possible level and built programs

He has a lot more credibility than Mario

Of course culture matters. But this is the same team that was better last year under a laughable head coach

Not sure why we still need to keep bringing this up

When you have a culture that feeds into losers then you lose to MTSU. Hence why half this locker is gone by next year.

Isn't a culture where bacteria is grown? That sure sounds about right.

I thought it came from yogurt.

 

[Noliaboi]

Yeah yeah yeah Gattis was a bad hire and Cristobal made some bad decisions so far but a lot of people (who have probably never been part of an organization or team) downplaying this and just think “a team got talent we should be winning”.

**** it, we're changing yogurts now?

Since this is already being discussed in another thread...here is an article from a few weeks ago about Sonny Dykes and TCU and the "culture change" that has helped them be undefeated.

Be mindful, Gary Patterson didn't have a rotten program...just didn't change much, lost a few miles off his fastball...but still recruited and evaluated well, with a roster full of speed that has helped Dykes transition to TCU nicely. Simple stuff, like Gary Patterson used to play HIS music (Bruce Feldman mentioned on The Audible - he loved Journey) during practice but now its going to be stuff the players want to listen to. Simple stuff. Instead of being a bit of a hardass (like Patterson), Dykes is more player friendly. “The first thing I did,” he said, “was start recruiting our current roster.”...good story.

How Sonny Dykes won over his roster so quickly at TCU

The effort Dykes put into winning over TCU’s returning players and building bonds with them is showing up in their surprise 5-0 start.

Supplier of cheesemaking supplies, cheese cultures, molds, lipase, rennet, yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk and fermented milk supplies : Get Culture

You can buy yogurt culture on this website. ****, the site is called "get culture .com." Maybe Mario can go there and buy some better culture for the UM football program. Im guessing Radakovich would let him use the company Visa card for that purchase.

Hard to get buy in when the coaching is atrocious and the offense hasn't scored a touchdown in over 2 games. This team fought at the end of last year.

 

[Gransapo]

Hard to get buy in when accountability only applies to some of the players.

How long are you as a fan willing to wait for it...because I can guarantee you that doesnt happen in 1 season, much less 8-9 games.

MTSU was a loser program about to fire their coach. If they weren’t then why not just go get Stockstill

It's not a buzzword...

But it is a crutch that you guys are hanging onto for dear life without realizing you're already exhausting all your excuses in year 1...

However, it will definitely make for very creative & entertaining excuse making in the future & that's always something to look forward to.
