I tend to lean towards the latter statement

Both call their own plays - both very successful. Same with the GB coach who got fired. Had a pretty good run calling his own plays.

On the flip side - for McVay being so inexperienced - an OC would help free him up to get a better sense of game flow, challenges, when to go to hurry-up. He seems to get buried in his play calling card a bit and I think not having an OC in the sky is causing him problems.[/quote

He doesn't have near the experience McCarthy, Reid or Payton have. Heck, I'm not sure he has been alive as long as Reid has been coaching. I have no issue with McVay calling his own plays. At least when he gets fired (and every coach gets fired eventually) he can say he did it his way. Which is the way I'd want to go out TBH.

My problem is 43 saying it is an over reaction, to even suggest it. It isn't, its a viable option for a team running low on options.
