re: Discipline - The Hallmark of Kirby Smart

I equate it to parenting to some extent: lack of discipline is the easy way out because it means you don't have to those tough confrontations that instill discipline.

All day, this. Most people eschew the responsibility of discipline because it is extra work or very uncomfortable for them. You can extrapolate this to any position of authority. Standards must be set and met, and any failure in that system must be viewed as a teachable moment. Eventually, the process becomes mechanical in nature, running on autopilot, and simply needs slight maintenance from time to time.

Discipline = success.
