Am I the only one who sees a bit of a contradiction here?
Childress was an OC before he became a head coach. If he isn't calling plays, the current OC, Darrell Bevell, probably does. (Let's face it, the QB probably does a lot of it, too...) The running backs coach isn't likely to be calling any plays at all in that system.
Agree 100%. I keep hearing that EB would bring "energy" and "attitude" to the Buffs. That's not what your HC or OC is there for. Not during the game. If you've got either of those guys running around yelling, screaming and jumping around the whole game, who is calling the plays and actually running the team? Not to mention the whole OC in the booth issue. For a RB coach that might be fine, but with the added responsibilities at the head coach or coordinator level, you need to be more focused. Not saying EB can't do it, but he's probably not going to be the raging firebrand everybody expects if he's going to do those jobs well...
