I don't know (remember) if we've talked about this concept before or not, but Cylent's comment about the DT recruits looking better than ever reminded me of a book I read years ago called "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. These seven lessons/principles of the concept are copied from this article: https://www.monkhouseandcompany.com/blog/7-important-lessons-from-jim-collins-good-to-great/
1. Good to Great "companies" are led by Level 5 Leadership.
2. Get the right people on the bus.
3. To be great, companies need to confront the brutal facts.
4. The Hedgehog Concept. There's a Venn Diagram of these 3: What are you deeply passionate about. What you can be best in the world at. What drives your economic engine.
5: Good to great companies have a culture of discipline.
6. Technology accelerators move companies from good to great.
7. Good to great companies build a flywheel of momentum. The progress at DT recruiting reminded me of this.
Substitute organization/ream for company, and you'll see what CMC uses as part of his daily philosophy (imho).
I bet you can think of examples where ISU football has used these lessons.
