[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1060932, member: 17953"] Eroded culture requires total change. The White Sox are going through that now, without ownership change and I think it's going to stall. Not because they want it to, but because when ownership remains the same, the hiring at the top stays the same, and you get people in the same mold as the previous ones running the show. A prime example was the Packers when Ron Wolf came into the picture. He told them he wasn't interested in the job if the board didn't walk away and let him build a winning football culture. When they agreed, and followed that route, the team rose rapidly under his guidance because he knew where he wanted to go with his hirings. He was looking for people that fit the culture he wanted to create. Herb Kohl created a working man's culture that could win games and be happy about how they were doing because they were the Bucks, and a Wisconsin institution. Now the emphasis has changed because of ownership. Kohl's down-home warmth towards community is gone from the team. Sad, but true. Let's face it. For a lot of years, we were happy knowing that the Bucks were competitive, and the players were known to be extremely community oriented. Now, being community oriented doesn't mean squat. They'd be jettisoned at the whim of a GM. Ask Holiday who said he loved the city and wanted to stay there to play out his career. They didn't even bother to tell him he was traded, he found out through the media. That is not the culture that wins. The problem is that the ownership considers it nothing but a cash cow, and the President is nothing but a bean counter who sees no humanity in the organization, just dollars and cents, and the GM is a man who figures he's the brightest basketball executive alive, and acts and reacts on what appears to be knee-jerk reactions. As for the coaches, they seem to realize that they're going to get fired for not getting results with the players they're given so they go through the motions. Even Bud got to that point in the end because he saw Horst p***ing it all away with his stupid trades. So, like I say, it needs to be a cleaning of the house. But that's just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
