I don't like that Steichen is calling his own plays. Leave the playcalls to your OC and focus on coaching the whole team, which is the job you signed up for. This is one of the reasons I prefer defensive oriented head coaches, I've never heard of a former DC turned HC calling his own plays, only former OCs seem to do this.

After Reich failing here, I want to agree with you on this. I do.
But Steichen was promoted because he is a young dynamic play caller who has had success doing just that in several places. It is very difficult to ask a guy to shelf his biggest strength and potentially his most impactful contribution to the team in the short term. I would like to believe that a head coach can be impactful in coaching THE WHOLE TEAM and still take on play calling duties. The last two Super Bowl winning coaches (McVay and Reid) would be a perfect example of why this can work, and does work. In order to make this work, I think these coaches have to put in a little bit more focus on the whole team during practice and halftime, before games, all the times in between the 2 and 3 minute drives where he is controlling the gameflow on O. This is where I think Reich failed. I think Reich stayed in his little playcalling bubble for extended periods of time and as a result, he eventually lost the whole team and consistently started slow in every season he coached. This all stood out to me as a motivational thing and not an X and O's thing. Frank was a believer, not a motivator. Steichen is by far and away the best play caller in the building. He can help us win games if he does that job. Period. Don't let Reich's shortcomings as a head coach sour you to the notion that someone else could handle the double-duties much better. |

It's not inherently negative to have your HC calling plays. Andy Reid has had HOF success doing that. And recently you've got guys like Kyle Shannahan, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, Zac Taylor, etc. having success.
I suppose it'd be great to have perfect balance with a Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh type in charge while your top-flight OC and DC handle play calls. The issue is that because of the guys I mentioned above, the top-flight play-callers are vying for HC jobs. So if you want one, they'll want the HC gig. Otherwise they'd stay put. And if you get one, you're not going to take his biggest strength away. Why'd he get the interview in the first place? Last edited by ChaosTheory; 02-17-2023 at 12:45 PM. |
