Post-game Army-Houston, Monken said, "you don't have to have the best players to win, you have to have the best team to win."

Wimbush is a very talented player i will agree, but i just wouldn't want to "muddy the waters" in that if we get Wimbush to transfer here for one year and he passes the guy coach Freeze practically begged to enroll early, we could lose both of them after 2019 and then where does that put us with BC graduating?BJWilliams wrote:Eh, no need to muddy the qb waters any further on that one, as good as he may beBJ, with all due respect that is the worst statement I have ever heard.
All leaders want to to improve in any environment.
If I have an employee that is okay-- or a player -- but along comes a true talent --- yeah , I'll let them go --- no.
That is a pure recipe for failure --- mediocrity --- and so on.
Better talent brings improvement with competition and collaboration to improve.
If I heard a potential manager -- or coach -- heck future employee make a comment like this ----- not on my team.
