“He brought this evidence that was straight from the NFL,” Don Jorgensen said via Fox 5 San Diego. “Our offensive plays, our defensive plays, you know – I’m not as experienced as some of the other coaches – but they were all saying, ‘This is never going to work. It will never work. “He has proven everyone wrong.”
