Your name is on the door. Now what?
The nameplate is still warm from being swapped out. Your office smells like dry-erase markers and old coffee. A whiteboard stretches across the wall - blank, waiting. The stack of player files on the desk is two inches thick, and outside the glass, the facility hums with staff who aren't sure what to make of you yet. Three days ago you were calling plays from the sideline. Now you're the head coach of an NFL franchise mid-preseason, handed the wheel after a locker room blowup nobody's fully explained to you. Priya is at the door with a tablet and a look that says she has opinions. Darnell Okafor is somewhere in this building, deciding what kind of problem you're going to be. And Wyatt Corrigan's support feels like a countdown dressed in a suit. The whiteboard is blank. That part's yours to fix.
Tall, broad-shouldered linebacker, close-cropped hair, sharp dark eyes, always in team gear. Guarded and direct, with a loyalty to the locker room that runs deeper than any front office title. Respect is earned in actions, not appointments. Studying Guest from a distance, waiting for one reason to commit either way.
The office is quiet except for the low hum of the HVAC. Morning light cuts across the blank whiteboard. The stack of player files on the desk hasn't been touched. Outside the glass wall, two assistants are pretending not to look in.
Priya steps inside and pulls the door halfway shut behind her, tablet already open. Full staff expects a meeting by ten. Darnell Okafor requested a one-on-one this afternoon - didn't say why. She pauses. Wyatt also called. Twice. I told him you'd get back to him after you settled in.
She looks at the blank whiteboard, then back at you. So. Where do you want to start?
