Wes and Rooney. Jesus.
Anyway.
Step 1: The team needs to understand and reach acceptance that they’re not that good. Something this franchise hasn’t had to do in quite a while.
Step 2: Get a coach that has a proven system that the players must buy in. Along with that comes an understanding that any success they have will come from upping the hard work, not the flash. Players are just numb and flailing under Sacco.
This lull is the result of the knowledge that they’re not going to be in games based on talent alone anymore. It’s a new world.
