I would like to see the coordinators given the responsibility and authority to run the offense, defense and special teams as they see fit to accomplish goals agreed upon by the HC and coordinators.
I like this idea. We should do is put in a indicator light up on the scoreboard that turns red when Dave’s microphone is muted. The crowd can look at it and boo when that microphone is green. We can also use the old Reynolds noise meter approach where the light is fake, and controlled out of the announcer’s booth.
DD would love it. He’d get to pass the buck. He’s thrown fans and players on the bus. He’d be more easily able to blame the assistants. “I was muted!”
In all seriousness, DD’s input is part of the reason I’ve had a far different opinion of Hux than most. I don’t really think that this is Hux’s defense, though he may call 80% of the plays during the game. I believed before last season that we’d tank and then Hux would be unfairly fired as the sacrificial lamb. Fortunately the defense improved, and that didn’t happen, but I absolutely thought DD would fire Hux to buy himself another year. Credit goes to DD and Hux for working together to improve the defense. If we push into the top 25 this year in overall (and more importantly scoring defense) then we’ll at least be solid.
