More from Johnson/Tresey Q&A
What's been missing here, and why are you the man to fix it?
Joe Tresey: "I can't tell you what's been missing here, and I really don't care. I really don't care. Can we change yesterday? Nope. We can only change today, in hopes that the change we make today, makes tomorrow better."
Mike Johnson: "I think the one thing that I can fix is the mindset. I think I can fix the mindset, I think I can fix the problem with work ethic, and I think I can fix the problem of self esteem. Collectively as a group we coach fundamentals and technique, but I think we will ourselves entirely different going into the season than we did in the past. That is important to understand who you are and what you are. I think we have really undersold how good we can be. I don't think you can go overboard with that. I think you have to be consistent and understand exactly who you are and what you are. If you have the potential to be good, you have to walk that way."
WOW Joe,
You don't know what has been missing here and don't care? Really? Well, how can you change today if you don't know what was missing or failing yesterday?
I would think any turn around job would start with a thorough top to bottom assessment. Where are we? What are we missing? Why have we failed? What are our strengths and weaknesses? Who are we? Then you implement and execute a stringent Plan of Action, to leverage strengths and fix weaknesses. That's how I've always managed. Would seem to make sense, maybe not to Joe or maybe he's too pompous to believe his way is the only thing that matters. I hope it works.
