I'm willing to admit that most don't know the hours and the thought that goes into making a gameplan week to week, not knowing what the other team is going to do, or what will really be effective against them on that Sunday--and that's after all the work that needs to be done choosing your scheme and designing your plays and figuring who is available to play and what their strengths and weaknesses are. Most everyone runs the same basic stuff, with little tweaks to fit what they want. I also know it's super easy to call design and plays with hindsight. 

But put me on the sideline and let me make decisions as it's happening and you better believe i'll do better than him. I've coached various sports over the years (and that doesn't come anywhere close to comparing to professional sports) and i know how easy it is to get blinders on and how fast things move and the game goes by live. It takes experience, even in coaching, before that stuff starts to slow down and you can see the bigger picture and not just the next play. 

Belichick, Arians, Reid, Harbaughs. I wouldn't even being to think i could compete with that. I'd be embarrassed right out of the stadium. But Zac, right now...?  MMhMM

I agree with a ton here. One thing we gotta consider here, with our limited scouting department, it's pretty common knowledge the coaches do more here than in most organizations. Knowing that, I think dude needs to let someone else handle the play calling because if all of that still holds true...he already has a shit ton his plate. Especially for a first time HC. It seems the vision for personnel and other things are very good. Haphazard play calling in offense seems to be the weakness of the staff. 

Look at the D. Just last week, they were put in perfect position to make a stop, Bell misses the back in the hole, he slips a second tackle that would've stopped a first down, and he's off to the races. That's good playcalling with an execution breakdown. We see a little of that on offense, but a lot more head scratching with the flow of the game.
