SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The stories of speeches from coaches the night before the Super Bowl routinely grow into legend for the winners. And yet, Mike Macdonald felt the need for none of that as he stood before his players on Saturday night at the San Jose Marriott.
He told them to stick to “our process.” He told them that the next day was what the players earned. He told them to play, as always, loose and focused. He told them to stack plays.
