I think your wrong about who is driving lol.
The HC is the one who is driving, and the jones boys play a big part too.
I am not a dak fan, but look at the HC and OC's he has had, garrett then MM lol
And never a good OC, dallas has had a predictable offense for a long time till shotty took over.
Hard to win when your playbook is stale with no innovation.
Ah, yes. Driving seat is a thing of your perspective. For me it is the QB who drives the team on the field. But of course HC, OC and even the GM has influence.
But you are wrong about his OCs. There were a lot more. then only Garrett and MM. And Garrett never was the OC/playcaller during Daks time here.
All of them were cut with reasoning that their gameplan, gamecalls or playbock were to easy and predictable.
before Dak: Callahan (playcalling under Garrett as HC). Just to show that Garrett wasnt a playcaller/OC for a long time here. Even under Romo.
since Dak:
1. Linehan (playcalling under Garrett as HC), was fine and well respect around the league during his Romo time. But suddenly somehow sucked and not able to call complex plays with Dak.
2. Moore (playcalling under Garrett as HC) -> same as with Linehan
3. Mike McCarthy (playcalling by himself) -> SB winning coach with Rodgers, somehow forget how to call plays when paired with Dak and he seemed to also lost his complex playbook he wrote and used during his GB times. How else do you explain that he wasnt able to call complex plays when he was in Dallas ?
4. Brian Schottenheimer (under MM as HC) -> well McCarthy had to go, why ? Offense wasnt better with Brians calls.
5. Brian Schottenheimer (as OC and HC)
It was not like those OCs werent able to AND havent had way more complex playbooks. The problem is the guy who had to execute the plays. And it was always the same when a new OC came here: First he tried to implement a more complex playbook. Then after weeks of trying he saw with this guy i have to trim it down. Everybody then started to shout about its simplicity. But that had a reason: The guy at QB wasnt able to execute those complex plays.
Again: We got rid of way too many OCs and it was always the same process during every ones stint with us. That points more to an underlying problem and not one associated with those OCs. And the problem is the QB we are sporting. He is flat out bad.
