he also wanted to non conform. He wanted to win, despite. Despite practicing less than everyone (efficiency pride), despite letting the players lead (management pride), despite having no athletes (Rudy pride and character pride), despite having devotionals (priority pride), despite not caring who the opponent was (execution pride), etc.
I actually bought in to a lot of the nonconformity. It was refreshing and successful at times. Happy to see him try it out somewhere else now.
