Mike Macdonald says culture is basically a fancy word people overcomplicate “It’s a fancy word. We don’t say culture. What is it exactly? I don’t know. Then you start using a bunch of buzzwords and stuff and now you sound like an idiot.” “It’s just how you do everything. It’s just how you operate. Just how we roll. What’s important to us. John Harbaugh said, ‘Shared understanding of principles.’ I thought that was a pretty cool definition.” “What’s helped this year is tightening it down, coming into focus about who we want to be, how we want to operate, what’s important to us. Making it resonate with the guys more.” “Having a more effective message. And hopefully they’re buying in. I think they are. It feels like it. We’ve got great energy. To see everybody celebrate each other is just what it’s all about.”
