Disagree, leadership emerges then you build around it. A true leader will expect everyone on the team to have their same effort to rise to their level and if you don’t you are held accountable by them.
That’s why Butch’s teams were never great. There was talent and they started winning 9-4 for two years. Leadership wasn’t there, it was more me ball.
You can have great individual talent, 2015 & 2016 Tennessee, and not be incredibly successful because of terrible team leadership. Give me a team with leaders that hold people accountable and you will succeed.
