Agree... the passing game might be a bit more conservative in terms of the type of routes they run and how aggressive they want to be down-field, but I don't see CMR/CMB as being a run first offense.

Just.Wont.Happen.


Our pass/run ratio will be about the same, but the passes may be a bit less aggressive.

I agree that we at times go too conservative and it costs us.... I'm just not sure that is CMB.

A few weeks ago I was listening to some in depth discussion of coordinators, HC's and the relationship between
them. The conclusion from several people who have played the game at a very high level, and some coaches was that
the coordinators will ALWAYS be to some degree a direct reflection of the HC's "vision". In short, there is no
coordinator problem that rests solely on their shoulders and that every single DC/OC does what they do within the confines of an overall structure and attitude put in place by the HC. Basically that there was no such thing as a HC
that completely turns over the offense or defense to this or that guy. There is just too much at stake for that
to ever happen and that DC's and OC's would call different games depending on who they worked for....

For whatever that info is worth....

Think most would agree with your post WD.

I would think so, but I wanted to point out how we can feel we do at times have a play
calling issue, but in doing so not be throwing Mike Bobo under the bus.

Sometimes we tend to think things are a bit too black and white. CMR turned play calling over to Bobo ergo all play calling issues rest on Bobo. This team will always have the CMR stamp on it
to some degree.
