Coach Sullivan reveals how they came to the conclusion of Coach Malzahn...

[The Prowler]

Ralph "Shug" Jordan's seven Ds of success.

"Not only to be successful in football," Sullivan said, "but in life."

Accompanied by Sullivan's descriptions, the seven Ds were:

Discipline: "Any successful person must learn to discipline themselves before they can discipline others.

Desire: "To excel, you have to have that burning desire in yourself and on the field.

Determination: "This is what makes you keep on keeping on."

Dedication: "A man must be dedicated to achieving his ultimate goal."

Dependability: "A man is only as good as his word."

Desperation: "How calmly and efficiently we can perform in desperate situations determines what degree we will succeed."

Dammit anyway: "When you have done everything you can do and things still seem to be going against you, you have to reach down and find something in your inner self."

"I am confident that our new football coach," Sullivan said, "exemplifies all these characteristics."

I'm guessing that the coaches that they were looking at had to fit into all of them. I'm so glad they didn't choose the 5 Ds of Dodgeball.

I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya... it feels phenomenal.
