The HC should always be the central head figure, but again it depends upon the quality of that central figure.
Some HC's are just not quality HC's and that ends up bringing up issues that should be well under their control
and ends up bringing on their eventual demise and departure.
While the more quality ones seem to find ways to keep their teams fighting and scraping into post-season play,even if they end up losing asst coaches to new team HC hires. ala Belicheck, Tomlison,Reid, etc.)
- As far as Moore/Garrett- hat could be purely speculation as to Garrett's interference on Kellen ..or was it times where Kellen made obvious rookie novice inexperience mistakes as an OC in just his first year in that role.
- Whatever rookie OC mistakes Kellen could have and did make while under Garretts' wing, could have
been avoided and made better .. if not for Garrett's own flaws as a game manager and inability to make adjustments on the run and in-game. I saw one stat that if Garrett's team is not leading by a certain margin at halftime, they seldom made comeback adjustments to eventually win the game.
- Frankly i hope McCarthy does not give Kellen full control and responsibility of the offense early on, especially
until it becomes clear how and what Kellen understands what MM expects and gains full
and complete confidence.
- It's not like Kellen has been under MM's wing, so the two will have to come to adapting and
adjusting to each other and that could take some time adjustment period.
There could already be some instances where same " terminology" (as the word term as been thrown
around so frequently without explanatory details) - such as both believing in strong pre-snap motion, multiple pre-snap looks and formations, quick huddle to no huddle pace,
as well preferring similar personnel packages such as:
11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE's, 3 WRs) ..
20 personnel (2 RBs, 0 tight ends, 3 WRs )
10 Personnel (1 RB, 0 TEs, 4 WRs)
But it's gonna be some things that one is gonna prefer more than the other, imo.
i.e. Moore may want more more RPO's formations,in shotgun formations.. while MM may prefer QB
more under center.
It's up to that central figure to how much and if he wants to be open to and implement such suggestions-ideals his from his kitchen help,..imo.
