i don't think he CALLS a play in that often, if ever...but he definitely has input on our gameplans and in-game philosophy
and under his tenure, we have done different things. jimbo ran (a muted miles version of) jimbo's pro style offense
then he wanted to go modern spread/spread option, and hired a spread guy. 2008 was a bit much for j lee. the spread option was inconsistent with JJ and never took hold, i believe b/c of 2008
2011 was a blessing but a curse in terms of offense. and we've basically run that same style since. even 2013 wasn't a magical year when you look at it in terms of where our offense ranked (it was like 36th in the country iirc)

I think people don't get that Cam has a new offense too, but it has the same formation.
I really a commontator breaking down a play really early in the season in 2013. NA dh showed how the routes the receivers ran open up another receiver, and i thought "we probably never had anything that thought out since 2007"
Is it complicated, yeah, but when you can execute it, it runs well, eats clock, keeps the defense fresh, and moves the ball.
those HUNH offense don't keep defenses fresh.

I agree. We had an insane amount of turnovers, great special teams, and a Heisman finalist on defense. Because of that, momentum was bound to swing our way in almost every game. You just can't replace that. You have to adapt.
