Fully recognizing what your core sustainable talent is and finding the best thing they can do to give the best chance of winning against teams with a higher sustainable talent levels. Beamer found it with smaller, aggressive defenses and special teams. He could recruit those types year in and year out. But within that whole, the O played ugly. Fu might do it a little different with a type offense and have a D that helps win but plays ugly.

It seems there is a mindset said over and over on here that winning with one unit playing ugly is not acceptable. But to me that is a step toward winning more. Find what is the best thing that the players you can get year after year can do and make that your focus.
