We're trying to be that franchise that year-in and year-out is competing for a championship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you inherit a franchise that won one playoff game in the last 10 years, you've inherited a troubled franchise.
We're trying to put ourselves in the best position to win, period, if not this year, next year.
We felt like when we went into last year we had a pretty good chance to win the championship from the previous year with the fall we put together. We've got the same everything now, so I think we can come back and be as strong this year.
Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.
I want to be the future of a franchise.
I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.
I don't care what sport you're talking about. What you see with great franchises is structure - a structure that doesn't just take you from year to year, but day to day.
We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
To win the Championship in the first year will be hard. We need time to become competitive and win races.
You don't even have to win a championship every year to draw the fans. You just have to show you're really trying.
