I seriously believe Hartline is the one calling the plays yes.
Of course he has influence on the game plan. There literally isn't a head coach on the planet who doesn't on offense OR defense. And please bring up the play card in his hand and ignore the fact that he has a defensive one too.....
Do you seriously think he's calling the defense too? Or is it only because you don't see Hartline using the walkie talkie like Patricia does?
My frustration is like many with questioning why our best players are taken off the field at crucial times. And Im probably wrong that Hartline is the one calling the plays, but Day gets the blame. in the end, win the games. But I think the offense should be put in better position at opportune times to put 7 on the boardWhat I’ve heard is that Hartline now runs the offensive game planning meetings, where they decide which plays they are going to run and the strategy for the game. Prior to last year Day always ran these meetings and it was a huge time suck that he shouldn’t do as a HC. This season Day still attends most of the meetings, is heavily involved in the planning and has the final sign off on the game plan. To me it’s less about the in game play calling and more about the offensive strategy decided during the week. That’s when they decide on the pool of red zone plays that they will use. That’s when it gets decided that we will pull smith and Tate for TE 3 and TE4.
