One of the first initiatives that Dan Mullen instituted when he met with his football team was to find out who those guys were. Being a first year head coach he didn’t know the guys on the roster. He didn’t know the personalities of his players, the relationships between them or who they looked to in times of adversity. What better way to find out than to put it in their own hands. Have his team show him who the leaders are.
