Should Coordinators Have More Input Than Just Scheme ?

[T master]

I just responded to another post here & it got me thinking a bit deeper on this subject . The HC is actually the guy that is to over see the team to make sure every one is doing the job they were hired to do & he has assembled his team of coaches to do these jobs . But shouldn't the Coordinators have a say in their respective coaches ?

 

Like we saw with Rex some HCing decisions aren't always the best for the team, like Rex allowing his guy (Dennis) to coach Rex scheme & then bringing in his brother to also help with that process (not to mention drafting 4/3 players previously only to change to a 3/4 scheme ?) & we all know how that worked out !!

 

And this kind of thing happens a lot in the NFL & could be happening now on the Bills team . But chemistry not only with team mates but in coaching staff has something to do with the end product !! 

 

I have been a huge fan of moving on from Juan Castillo, although he may be a good coach in certain areas he has never really excelled from anything i can see from his past on other than defensive coaching stints, given that he was fired in Philly by a really good coach & hired by the Ravens at the end of a season to enjoy a SB win & getting a ring but didn't have to give much to get it !

 

I believe he is better suited to be a defensive position coach given what he has done in the past !! 

 

Which leads me to my questions for us fans . Given that Castillo was a previous hire to Dabol should the new O Coordinator be given the power to hire his guys the guys that he believes to be the best coaches to help him achieve his vision of the offense scheme he is implementing or like what is happening now should he have to make it work with what he has with previous hires ? 

 

I would think in some respects that would almost be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole especially if the O coordinator doesn't think that the blocking scheme is best suited for what he is trying to accomplish ! Or if the WR coach isn't passing out (pun intended) his thoughts on the routes & how they need to be ran ! 

 

Am i off base in thinking that what we have our defensive minded HC shouldn't really be the guy that is hiring the O line coach to match up with the offensive coordinators vision of his offensive scheme weather it be RB's, TE's, or O line coaches ? Shouldn't it be you hire the offensive coordinator then let him put his coaches in place that best fit what he is trying to coach .

 

Even if he the O coordinator relays what he wants his O line, RB's, WR, TE coaches to do (if they aren't his guys) & if they are of a different mind set of what needs to be done wouldn't that effect the out come of the production of the group as a whole ? 

 

I just think & am still blowing the horn (& also beating a dead horse) to see the difference in 1 coaching change just going from what Kromer did & is doing now to what Juan has done & is doing now makes me think a change is needed still & Dabol should quite possibly bring in his guy to be that coach !!
