amen to that. Another interesting thing I just read - Its been tweeted (how is that even a word in our vocabulary?) that Sherm Lewis will call plays directly into Campbells headset. So, basically, Zorn has been removed entirely from the equation.
Now, i know on the majority of NFL teams, the offensive coordinator (or someone other than the head coach), calls the plays. (I think only about 8-10 head coachs call plays, according to some pre-game graphic I saw this past weekend). Does anyone know how these teams (especially the successful ones) handle the transmission of the playcall to the QB? Obviously, if the play goes through the HC, it delays the play getting to the QB. On the flip side, i imagine most HC's dont want to be bystanders.
One positive of having someone up in the booth call plays is that they have a better view of the field and a better perspective on what opposing defense are doing. Thats not to say I like someone from the outside being brought in like this, but I think the concept is a sound one.
