Watched that spring game and the thing that jumped out, beyond the new guys getting reps, was how clean the operation looked. No procedural mess, no confusion on substitutions, the whole thing just felt like a well-oiled machine running drills. That’s not an accident. That’s a direct reflection of a coaching staff that knows exactly what it wants and knows how to teach it.

They’re not just recruiters or play-callers, they’re teachers. And right now, they’re teaching a masterclass in how to run a program during the volatile offseason. People take that for granted.
