Shamburger is about to get ratioed by VolTwitter. Rightfully so, and as far as I'm concerned, anyone who isn't fully bought in can go as well.
If anyone has tried changing culture within an organization, as has been stated before in this thread, it's an incredibly difficult thing to do. And it doesn't happen quickly. What's happening right now is that Pruitt is simply letting attrition play out. There is always a very specific and actionable cause for letting someone go, whether you're talking Forture 500 companies or college football. Attrition is expensive, results in a loss of productivity, and at first glance the upside may not be immediately obvious (i.e. losing someone who's supposedly a playmaker).
But organizations are stronger by letting toxic personalities go, and you absolutely can drive increased productivity through addition by subtraction. When you're changing culture, empower your productive colleagues, someone like Jennings who you know has the mentality to succeed and is proven to be a leader among his peers. Invest in who you know can be trusted, and give them the tools and processes to be the voice of the customer, maintaining a tight cadence with leadership. Provide a trust and stability to those who have earned it, and anyone who isn't aligned with organizational next steps needs to be put on notice.
Jennings, Trey, Warrior and the real alpha dogs on the team can inspire their peers to enact change, and rid this toxic stench that has permeated our program. If you have the closer mentality, you'll be a winner on and off the field. From the outside looking in, it's obvious most of the players on the squad need to put that coffee down and stop complaining about the leads being weak. As we know, it's not the leads that are weak.
