Every team has its day in the sun sooner or later. In real life, winning and losing cycles vary from weeks to years and to decades.
But let’s assume we’re in a vacuum and call a four-year cycle a practical median for those vested who need to see a reasonable return; for those who need a basis to measure and evaluate; and for those watching who need something to buy into.
“Give it that old college try,” before another change needs to happen. There’s enough MWC benchmarks to make a case all around.
For further relativity, let’s say there are three cultures: a winning and a losing culture, which is pretty clear, and limbo which is neither an overwhelming winning or losing pattern.
