Re: Speaking of Advisors... what about ours?

So... we have Olsen, Gruden, and Coen as offensive advisors, consultants, masterminds... what do they do?

Serious question. Do they have actual assigned duties? Areas of responsibility and authority? Or are they a committee of bobblehead yesmen?

With this brain trust, why is the HC calling the plays and desinging the offense, making up the playsheet week to week? How much - or how little - are the would-be contributors contributing? Could the demands McVay is placing upon himself by taking what seems to be like virtual full charge of the offense be detracting from his overview and conduct of the entire game?

I understand and appreciate McVay's brilliance, intensity, and high energy level. His compulsion to control, born out of all that, seems to be inhibiting his willingness to delegate. Young and dynamic managers often have this same trait: they don't want to give up control. As a result, their organizations fail to fully benefit from their subordinates collective talent and potential contributions.

Where is the offensive brain trust in all of this? Are they effective managers, with enough autonomy to perform at their maximal level, or simply a support group for the head man?
