The structure Allen has built is unique. A few years ago, he noticed they were having too many conversations about who would be tending to which specific players. The last thing he wanted, he said, was “some player not knowing who’s taking care of them.” So, Allen decided, “Let’s create a football coaching model and let’s apply it in the medical care.”
Jakob Grieff coordinates the offense along with assistant Zarien Hood; Paige Hudson coordinates the defense along with assistant McKennah Sigler; and Rob Sun coordinates special teams.
The specialization creates efficiency.
“I don’t know that people really fully appreciate the thought that goes into that Saturday-to-Saturday model,” he said. “We start as soon as the game is over — really we’re keeping track of what we’re getting during the game and then what are we going to do with that particular player post-game, right then. That’s going to give us a chance to get them better before the next Saturday.
“You have to think that way because every second is going to matter in this league in terms of turning a player around from from one Saturday to the next.”
