To me, the quote isn’t referencing continuous improvement tweaks - the “solution” he’s referring to is what’s necessary to win games and, ultimately, the cup.

IMO, it’s a great encapsulation of the total failure of that organization to capitalize on their prior years of combined failure and blind luck.
