Over the past year I’ve spent some time off and on thinking about a phrase Pruitt often uses when talking about our football team. “We need to play the right way.”
I suppose many people would say he’s talking about effort, consistency, discipline, competitive drive, and things like that and while those intangibles are absolutely necessary, I think there is a larger overarching concept that he may have in his sights.
In one of his offseason appearances Pruitt casually dropped the comment that the players on our roster this year all like each other and while some people might not have focused on that as being particularly important it resonated with me as being a good first step to establishing a framework for a TEAM. jmo.
