I see a lot of you are speculating on OC and DC. Paul Hamilton, the Bills beat reporter was on last night and touched on this issue. From what he’s gathered, MM is looking to hire first time Coordinators for each side of the ball. MM will continue calling he plays and his OC will mainly be his go to guy. They guy that runs the day to day activity of the O. But in the games MM will call the plays as many HC’s around the league currently do.
On defense, they’re looking for someone who blitzes a little less. Turns out that MM and JG don’t really talk. Not a good relationship there. JG was blamed for the Miami loss because after a nice game plan against Ferrotte, he switched to a blitz heavy defense once SR came in. Hamilton continued that Marv Levy is not a big fan of the blitz heavy defense and has always said, Live by it and die by it. During the preseason, Levy commented that Blitz heavy D’s are very successful in the preseason because teams don’t game plan. But if a team finds out what you’re doing, they’ll pick it up and hit big plays all the time. (Might explain Clements season).
I guess Gray would design the game plan, MM would bounce some ideas off of him on how O’s might counter his plan and then Gray would make any changes. During the game they rarely talked.
Take it for what it's worth, but PH is around the team all the time.
