You're too smart to have inferred that. And you're too smart to take O's comments this week to mean he's drawing up plays in the offensive meetings. But, the wins and losses go on his record. He has more at,stake both financially and reputationally. To think he would have zero input is ridiculous. Though much aligned, the OC and the HC have different goals. Canada is looking for success on each play, each drive. O is trying to win the games. And sometimes those slightly conflict. Canada probably wants to throw in the middle of the field on 3rd and 15. O may deem a draw the safer--and more prudent--call relative to winning the game. The object is to win the game, not see how many yards you can rack up. Usually they go hand in hand, but not always.'

Not to mention O probably wants certain players to play(like Stevens) to help recruiting this year and down the road. Canada's probably looking to rank as high as he can and bounce.

Either way, this is all nonsense and O haters looking for another way to shite on him. I didn't want him either, but like it or not, he's the coach, and it's gonna take more than this made up bullshite for me to turn on him. Just be intellectually honest, that's all I ask.

That's very well stated.

Doesn't really do much to quell the apprehension of Orgeron overruling his assistants, especially given his past pattern of abysmal decision making. Additionally, another problem is that Orgeron's not really an authority on any aspect of offense or defense, not over his assistants.
