He went to his most tenured and talented players to find out their thoughts on how to improve. He essentially formulated a plan but was wise to get buy in from his lockerroom ahead of time. Those guys were highly invested because they had a say in the plan. I imagine that invigorated them. We know whatever happened it worked.  It certainly didn’t hurt his Coaching career to get buy-in from the lockerroom leaders.There’s a hidden layer of humility in that approach. Lombardi might’ve had the aura of a hardened, focused,  disciplinary style leader. Yet his will to Win was his motivation and to be the best didn’t preclude him from harnessing any details in his approach to get there. He didn’t mind sharing that glory I think that’s one of the more intriguing things I liked about his winning legacy. I bet there’s a lot of coaches that would in a million years never ask his players for advice. Just my guess.</blockquote>
