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.
All you have to back up your claim is some vague rumors. The fact that Gruden agreed with the front office does n ot prove that he had any input at all.
But if you want to talk about actual facts instead of rumors Marvin Lewis said ina press conference that Chris Henry would not play for the Bengal again after he got into more trouble while still suspended, but the front office brought him back anyway.
