What were some of the coaching & management strategies that Tony Dungy and his assistant coach, Herm Edwards, used to build up the Tampa Buccaneers to make them see themselves as winners?
1. Hire teachers and let them teach. 2. Establish a vision of what he expected from the team. 3. Communicate that vision to his coaches and players. 4. Let his coaches coach. 5. No Excuses,
They set some clear goals for the season--top 5 in giveaway/takeaway ratio, top 5 on special teams, etc. They challenged the players to work hard and perform to their full potential. They set clear expectations and there were consequences for not meeting them. They set the standard as models of integrity, hard work and community involvement.
They expected the Tampa Bay Buccanners to: Be a pro Act like a champion Respond to adversity Be on time. Being late means either it's not important to you or you can't be relied on. Execute. Do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it. Not almost. All the way. Not most of the time. All of the time. Take ownership.
Dungy and Edwards made the Buccaneers see themselves as winners by stressing the importance of all players, not just a single star or set of players. They made it acceptable to lose if the team tried hard, and made no excuses afterwards. They stressed that a winning team lived clean lives and must show up to all public appearances. They worked on a feeling of community. As the city rallied behind the players, they say themselves as winners.
No excuses, no explanations! Treat the players with respect. Act like a champion. Be on time for football and personal appearances. Execute. Take ownershi. Be positive. Have faith. Do what we do. Whatever it takes.
The previous comments were all correct. Vision, strategy, tactics, great expectations, execution, motivation, measurement, lead by example but maybe the most important, Dungy fit the right players and coaches with the right tasks and then he altered his management style to fit the two.
Told them to believe "they could do it." To dream about success--but football not everything. Be a well-rounded person on the field and off. Work as hard as you can in early part of your life. And always remember you need God daily.
I think an important point was that he wanted the players to take responsibility for their life and their actions and to give 100% always and that God is important all the time as well.
To be puntual and accountable both personal and professional. Have your actions reflect your character and have faith be an important part of your life. Follow through.

Told them to believe "they could do it." To dream about success--but football not everything. Be a well-rounded person on the field and off. Work as hard as you can in early part of your life. And always remember you need God daily.
They stressed the importance of having a vision. When you visualize what you want to accomplish, you're more likely to get there.
