The spring install portion alone is worth the listen. Jones walks through how he staggers a 3-day install plan across six weeks of classroom sessions before spring practice ever begins, so that by the time players hit the field, they have already seen each install twice. He also talks through how he coordinates with his defensive staff, how he adjusts the playbook based on what his quarterback can actually do, and how he used Georgia Tech film this offseason as the foundation for building out a new offense around a mobile quarterback with college offers.
