Nope.I thought he was becoming OC.

The facts are that we went 12-4 with many things different than when we went 8-8, including Linehan playcalling as well as Garrett taking more of a role in being a "walk around coach." It's not like he was standing on the sideline daydreaming while Linehan took over his duties. Whatever influence he reduced in terms of attention needed for playcalling you can be sure he increased somewhere else to make up for it.It's a fact that we are won the less Garrett's role was in the offense. That's not speculation. It's absolute fact.
HC duties plus OC duties down to just HC duties = decreased role no matter how you try to spin it, pusher.The facts are that we went 12-4 with many things different than when we went 8-8, including Linehan playcalling as well as Garrett taking more of a role in being a "walk around coach."

So it's not really accurate to say Garrett had a decreased role with the team.
Uh... no it doesn't. He could have and probably did take on extra work elsewhere. It's not like he was clocking out at 4:30 every day after he gave up playcalling.HC duties plus OC duties down to just HC duties = decreased role no matter how you try to spin it, pusher.
I didn't say his influence was lessened. I said his duties lessened. Which is absolutely true unless you are blinded by his penis in your face.Uh... no it doesn't.

He had a different role and it had a positive effect. Trying to say Garrett's influence on this team is decreased is false.
His track record as HC and OC/play caller is pretty bad. He's an OL coach and nothing more.So the best Callahan could do is another o-line job? Huh.
Well VA said his "role" decreased and that remains untrue since his role was merely changed. It did not decrease in any measurable way since he still put in just as many hours and had his hands in other areas after freeing up from playcalling.I didn't say his influence was lessened.

That's not decreasing, it's changing.Role decreased.
Oh for fuck sakes.
I hate to agree with Smitty, but I've always considered "walk-around-coach" a more powerful position than "HC/OC" which is a role that decreases the coach's influence on the big picture. Having fewer duties isn't necessarily a "lesser role" with the team, even though it's a smaller role in the offense.Role decreased.

Him giving up the play calling is absolutely what made us better this year, so the statement still holds. His role decreased, and our wins increased. It's as simple as that.I hate to agree with Smitty, but I've always considered "walk-around-coach" a more powerful position than "HC/OC" which is a role that decreases the coach's influence on the big picture.

How much do you really think he was influencing the defense, though? He's not telling a decades-long vet like Marinelli how to coach in any way.I hate to agree with Smitty, but I've always considered "walk-around-coach" a more powerful position than "HC/OC" which is a role that decreases the coach's influence on the big picture.

There's more to coaching than Xs and Os. I think if you're the "offensive head coach" and the other guy is the "defensive head coach" it's hard to get on "his guys" about things like preparation and effort. Overall, the team and the defense seemed a lot less "gutless" when his main job became setting the tone.How much do you really think he was influencing the defense, though?
