There’s a famous line from “Remember the Titans,” one that every sports fan should have occasion to cite at at least once: “Attitude reflects leadership, captain.”
In the movie, the line is a harsh challenge from defensive end Julius Campbell to defensive captain Gary Bertier. Maybe it was never actually uttered in real life, but it has real life applications. USC football is living proof of that.
The attitude of Clay Helton’s Trojan team reflects his leadership.
That’s for better or for worse. And yes, there is a “better” in that equation, not just a “worse.
