unilaterally?
Not buying it.
It's not "unilaterally," it;s the deciders (like McVay) giving him a lot of input.
Fassel did it in 2012. He picked both Zuerlein and Hekker.
Basically it's the same as the OL coach getting a lot of input on OL picks. You don't want to exclude him from that--he's going to want his kind of guys.
But as with all things, some are better at it.
For example Kromer is light years better at choosing OL draft picks than either Hanifan or Boudreau ever were. Fassel was better than the current guy.
