Good to see them recognize the obvious
Also, some adjustments suggested by players were implemented by the coaches and are showing near term results.
Might the coach coming out and admitting they made adjustments finally throw cold water on the “It’s not on the coaches, the players just don’t want to put in the effort” narrative? I have my doubts

I've never said that coaches don't make a difference. What I said was the specific thing you think Ward is coaching, I don't think is the case. In particular it had nothing to do with line combinations. You were suggesting he was coaching D to D passes and dump and chase. I don't think that's correct. I think those were happening because of execution.
And Backlund on the wing was not a Ward innovation IIRC.
