We Do the Same Things and Expect Different Results

[WilsonHog]

That kind of thinking doesn't work, in any organization. Business, school, athletic, doesn't matter. The one way to ensure that you'll get the same tired results is to continue to try to do things the same way.

That's the chief problem in the UA athletic department. It's become a "family."

Piss on "family." 

We have a blue print for Razorback football since 1958? Burn it.

We have people who insist on doing things "the old way?" Fire them.

Hire the best people possible, spend whatever it takes, do whatever it takes, give whatever it takes. Tell them the expectations, the demands, and let them know that if those expectations and demands aren't met, they'll be fired. Period.

What we need is the Alec Baldwin character from "Glengarry, Glenross."

"You got a family? You're a family man? Who cares? Go home and play with your f****** kids."

It's called insanity. That's where our program is now: insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

I concur.

We certainly have the money in this area to change things, but it seems nobody has the balls to do it.

Great post.  Absolutly great.  Its not rocket science, why is no one up there figuring it out.

Yep, the Einstein definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results."
