losing destabilizes the program. which is worse?
I meant to address this earlier and forgot.
Losing is a symptom. It's surface level. It's the thing that people from the outside can see that tells them that something internally is wrong.
When your QB room is unstable, when your team is bereft of talent, when your starter and his back ups are all sub-par, losing follows.
Yes, losing games will cause instability OVER TIME. As players watch you lose games, they lose interest and your roster gets depleted. I agree with you in this premise. But, the fact of the matter is that losing is still simply a symptom of the larger issues beneath the surface that people don't see.
I'll put it to you this way:
Have we sucked because we lost games in previous years?
Or, have we sucked because we haven't had enough high-performing players on the team?
If you say we lost players due to the fact that we lost games in previous years, I'd say that you're making my point. We improperly utilized our talent, then we lost talent after the younger players noticed we weren't winning.. which was a symptom of previous regimes sucking as coaches and talent evaluators.
The internal issues lead to the external symptoms that makes talented players stay the fûck away.
