Soup is Dorsey…
“John Dorsey expects Browns to win AFC North in ’18: ‘Anything else is unacceptable'”
http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2017/12/browns_john_dorsey_aiming_for.html
That statement, bashing the previous regime and Soup being “all in” on the current GM proves it:
Soup is our new GM.
Find me a better explanation. I’ll wait.

It’s about time someone aimed for the sky in this organization. If they set the goal at 8 games you win 4. Set the goal at the division and you can get to 8.

Furthermore, fuck anyone whose goal is less than the division and a Super Bowl. Your life must suck if your goal is to win at 20% of what you do. Set high goals and you get to a higher level than a lower goal. If the expectation is to build – then that means you aren’t there yet so you expect less of yourself. Fuck all of you

There is a common misconception these days that wanting something is enough to make it happen.
“Furthermore, fuck anyone whose goal is less than the division and a Super Bowl. “
When you’re on the verge of a winless season, your goal isn’t “Super Bowl or bust”, it’s win one fucking game. Belichick understands this with his “one game at a time” philosophy. As the old saying goes, you have to crawl before you walk. You’re not going to go into next season with a) a rookie QB b) a new offensive system or c) decades of poor drafting and organizational dysfunction and compete with teams that have done the right things the past decade without an incredible amount of luck and an ungodly influx of talent. And while that is in the realm of possibility, it is not probable at all (and expectations are best tempered with likelihood).
If you’re in an organization that is losing a half million dollars a month, and the owner of the company wants the business to make one million dollars a month, you best recognize your people when they lose a quarter of a million a month, when they hit break even, when the business cashflows and when you hit the owner’s target. Focus just on the owner’s target (the “Super Bowl”) and your people won’t stay engaged long enough to reach the goal.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Success requires a plan with attainable goals. Win one game this season. Find a Franchise QB in the off season. Hit on 75% of your draft picks. Win a game in 2018. Win at home or on the road (whichever you didn’t do in your first win). Win a division game. Win 5 games in the 2018 season if you do that. Win 4 division games if you do that. You build on small successes. At 0-13, “Super Bowl” and “Division Championship” are meaningless. 1 win matters. 1 division win matters. You are the aggregate of what you’ve done. Simply put, we haven’t done enough to merit a division championship. We haven’t done enough to merit a Super Bowl. We’ve done enough to go 0-13, and if we don’t want to go 0-16, we have to do more.

https://youtu.be/hy-3bb1Nqy0I respectfully disagree. In sales I set myself high income goals. Ones that are barely on the cusp of attainable. I started with smaller ones (my 1st being $100k) then as I’d hit a level I’d raise it up. In 13 years I’ve gove down twice. Once due to the recession and once to a commission switch wear my attitude ruined me for the year like a moron. My point?
If my attitude and goal was to reach $100k each year I’d still only be making $100k. If your goal is to “always build” then you will never ever win. It’s a mental thing for the 53 guys on the roster.
His goal is to win the division. That is step one of success. (I added the Super Bowl in my buzzed state). HE set a goal for the team. Imagine if he said “my goal is to win 4 games next year.” How’s that going to set in the minds of players? I’ll tell you how. They’ll be complacent and probably win 2 games. But if they aim for the division they have the shot at a .500 season.
