I actually just thought of an example that completely disproves your statement.

Jay Gruden lobbied for Andy Dalton.  This fact was referenced a ton throughout the offseason he was drafted. Jay Gruden had a tremendous amount of input on this player. This is backed up by a handful of sources. In fact, it's often been rumored that he won over and talked the GM (Mike Brown) into takng him over Ryan Mallet.

So it turns out, some OC's do have input over personnel.

I rest my case.
