He's the head coach. Of course he has input. Hard telling how much, but I've always imagined the OC's being able to call their own game, but they also have to adjust according to what Marv wants to see in-game. Do people honestly think the man isn't pulling any strings as far as game planning and play calling?

That he never has any ideas for plays or how the game should "flow"?

So yeah, of course he's involved. It's near impossible for us to completely nail down where Marv's influence starts and ends though, and I can see where Marv fans would feel it's unfair to blame any negative on Marv. I do think the ultra conservative nature of the offense once we get a lead is a Marv thing. It's normal to drain clock late. We seem to jump into that mode a little early sometimes though. 20-7 lead early in the 3rd? Better start running the crap out of the ball. 

The shovel passes are a throwback to the Brat days, but I don't recall Jay or Hue using them a ton.
