Rod is doing a better job than Garrett and Linnehan
I think he adjusts FAR better than Garrett and Linehan does. Part of the problem is that he usually has to wait for a poor first half performance to adjust. If we play well in the first half the opponent may adjust and Rod won't.
But Garrett and Linehan make roughly no adjustments. The only adjustments I can recall in the past couple of years was this year when we switched to 21 personnel.
My problem with Rod is that his scheme stinks. Too much Cover 2 which gets eaten alive by underneath routes, back shoulder fades and fast TE's and Y-receivers. Puts the safeties and corners in bad positions and that's why we don't force turnovers. We don't bracket receivers and we rarely blitz. The 1-tech position has been a disaster. At this point I'm even willing to get a quality space eater at the 1-tech just to slow down the opposing run game and keep a pass rushing 1-tech fresh for passing downs.
But even still, Rod is a better D-Coordinator than either Garrett or Linehan is an O-Coordinator.
