“Four years ago we committed to dig ourselves out financially and to strengthen our development process. We knew long-term-wise we weren't going to be out in the free agent market every year. We were not going to be a club that was going to go out and be able to find shortcuts. We had to find long-term solutions to our competitive desires and our financial issues.”
“There's strength in being able to be patient and persevere. You've got to know what your end goal is always. You map out how you go about business every day and you stay clearly focused on your end goal. When you have a belief in something you can't see, you really start to build momentum, and I would say that [through O'Dowd's and Hurdle's] leadership, we have some internal momentum around that belief.”
