Is that you have never been in a managerial position. The boss, however described may well ask for suggestions but ultimately it is his decision to make.

If every subordinate in an organization had is own way you would have chaos.

Look at it this way. Let's assume all the assistant coaches have this free rein you seem to think is so wonderful. The OC decides that the first play will be a deep pass to the right. The line coach disagrees and he instructs the line to fire out zone blocking, while the running backs coach instructs his charges to run a jet sweep to the wide side, while the QB coach thinks that a boot leg to the short side is just dandy. The receivers coach goes into a snit because he really wants a bubble screen.

Sounds productive doesn't it? The job of a manager is to accept suggestions from subordinates and then do what he thinks is best for the situation.

According to CEO there's a structure in place. He lets the coordinators call plays and decide what packages will be used. The position coaches have the flexability to rotate his guys in and out as he sees fit. That's what he meant when he said "I let my coaches coach."

I think that's a very good organizational hierarchy.
