Grier highlighted the importance of accountability by stating, "We met for an hour. I was very direct with him. He was very honest. Discussed multiple things including it's not acceptable to leave a game and won't be tolerated." This emphasizes the importance of discipline and communication within the team. It reveals the difficulties faced in handling player emotions and expectations after a disappointing season.
On Tua Tagovailoa, Grier stressed the need for reliability: "He needs to be available and control what he can control. Not being available and taking risks is unacceptable to us." This marks a call for Tagovailoa to improve his decision-making and prioritization of health to better serve the team's future prospects.
Grier expressed clear disappointment in the team's performance, stating, "Disappointed [with] 8-9. It's not the standard here. It won't be. We will be better, everyone from myself to Mike, the coaching staff, players. We had expectations created by the excitement the past two years [and they weren't met]. It's unacceptable. Nobody is happy.” This showcases the pressures and expectations within the organization.
McDaniel addressed player discipline regarding tardiness, emphasizing, "I will not accept players being tardy, which several were multiple times this season." This highlights the need for accountability and consistency among team athletes to maintain performance standards.
