Heck, it’s easy to find quotes where a GM says he conferred with the HC before making a move. Like this recent one...
Quote
(On if they had been talking to the Dallas Cowboys about trading Austin before the draft or if not how the deal came together)
Snead: “Back during the combine, when the rumors were we going to release him, all of that, teams were trying to figure out were we really going to release him or not. Obviously, we restructured his contract and all of that. Today, really out of the blue, teams have checked in, ‘Hey are you still going to keep him?’ All of that through this whole process and yes we are, we restructured his contract, this kid’s fast, good player. Somewhere in the draft today, got a text and a call from (Cowboys Director of Player Personnel) Stephen Jones and he asked if he would be available. Talked with Sean and we thought it was the best thing for us and Tavon.”
Then there’s Snead giving credit to the staff...

Snead: “Before you go, I appreciate you all mentioning my name, but I can’t say enough about our player personnel staff. From the area scouts on up, to the guys that took these guys from the top-30 visits from the airport and back, let us know what they were like. All of that it’s a great process, Sean’s staff, they’re involved and when you get involved in the personnel side it’s not easy. There’s a lot of extra work on your plate and they do a heck of a job. This day couldn’t have gone as smooth as it did without their work.”
