Nope. Not really. I do remember a clip during the 2009 Hard Knocks where Marvin told brat on the headset, "Alright, I want to see 3 runs up the middle here"... From that I gathered that maybe the OC (or DC) does call the actual plays, but Marv tells them what type of play to run. Of course, that could have just been some fluky scenario where Marv was trying to kill the clock but still, I've wondered just how much control our coordinators have ever since.
