Dan Quinn emphasizes that environment and culture are distinct concepts. The Washington Commanders practice at a high tempo and utilize motivational displays, but these do not define the true culture. Quinn became the first coach since Joe Gibbs to lead the team to the NFC championship game. His focus for the second season has shifted from rebuilding to maintaining established principles, emphasizing competition, skill development, honesty, and individualism in pursuit of a collective goal. Sustaining culture involves ongoing reinforcement and adaptation to maintain high standards.
"If you don't reinforce it, you don't really have a standard or a culture because it's just a sign on a wall or some s--- that you say."
"We have really high standards, but you do have to push them... The fun part is building because it's new and you're trying things."
