Franchise Intangibles for a winning Organization

BooBirdSaint · 04-27-2005, 01:03 PM

Now that the draft day cheers and groans are dying down I'd like to focus on something different. We often talk about the "intangibles" to winning games and often discussions revolve around the makeup of our team (Front Office, Players, Coaches ect.). My question for the fans of this board are what do they think the top Franchise Intangibles are for turning the Saints in the class of the league? I would identify an intangible as anything that is not obviously needed to win (such as player talent or coaching ablity ,ect). Intangibles are things like Fan base, Facilities, Fan/Team relationship, team media image (local or national), player conduct, Star player power projection, scouting, player development, conditioning programs, cheerleaders or anything that is not obvious but might propel us into beyond our current status (bottom tier team).
Is this clear or does it make sense? I really think that if you want to win you've got to walk, talk and think like a winner.
I'd identify:
Player development - invest today for tomorrow
National media image - what a class organization
Facilities- State of the art
Onfield playing conduct - Act like a professional get treated like one.
Star player power projection/image - Admired by friend and foe alike.
