FRISCO -- A coaching change always comes down hardest on the people who had no say in it. Players don't just see changes, they feel them. New plays, new rules, new faces. What makes it personal is if you happened to like the coach going out the door. Kliff Kingsbury didn't win much at Texas Tech, but, like the Arizona Cardinals, his Red Raiders didn't hold it against him.
Matt Wells isn't as cool as Kliff. The new guy is louder. Tougher. A stickler for details.
But if spring practice wasn't as much fun this year, the Raiders have made their peace with it.
