I do prop Garrett though...he had to know if this season did not go well he would be in trouble...in that case you see coaches getting more involved. He stepped back and let his assts coach and they are better for it. I don't love the guy, but I credit him for being a HC instead of a glorified OC.
Right.
None of us thought the hiring of Linehan would bring anything different because we assumed since their offense was similar at its core, he would simply be rehashing more of the same shit.
But to Garrett's credit, it appears that he's given him complete control of the offense to do as he sees fit.
Garrett has the right ideas as far as how a team should be run, but he couldn't really influence that much and part of the reason is because of how involved he was in the offense.
If he keeps preaching the same message he was preaching before, but is actually getting the entire team to buy in, then I have no problem with him staying around if this team has a successful year.
