Football has changed, but my style of leadership, my approach, hasn't.
America is looking for a consistent leader.
As a coach, you never take your foot of the gas when it comes to enforcement of your culture.
As a leader, you build trust when you give yourself 100%, so that people understand with your every action, you stand for them.
I'm thankful that my career at Oklahoma was marked with consistent leadership in president David Boren and director of athletics Joe Castiglione.
When the president decides something on Monday, he still believes it on Wednesday - no matter what happened Tuesday.
Most of the strength and the leadership skills and the decisiveness, the resoluteness that I think America was craving from Donald Trump, from a leader, is the same in public as it is in private.
We need steady hands, not a president who says he's neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday, and who knows what on Wednesday, because everything's negotiable.
That's important when you are running an organization so that the people who work with you know what you believe in and know those beliefs won't change.
As a manager, the more consistent you are, the better off you are. It's easy to be up when things go well. When things don't go well, the players will follow your lead. So you have to be consistent and upbeat, which takes some work sometimes.
