Tell that to Buddy Ryan, If a head coach doesn't know how to run an offense than how is he supposed to know who does if he doesn't understand it himself, and then what does he do if that coordinator leaves for another job? Offensive geniouses are few and far between, if your going to open a restaurant and your cook is the buisness, you better be able to cook yourself because it's only a matter of time before he open's shop somewhere else and put's you out of buisness, many so called great coordiator's are the product of running system's that they have been taught, and fine tuned by the head coach, the HC makes sure the coordinator's run what he want's run, who do you think taught Belichik how to coach? Parcell's! Parcell's didn't get lucky and just happen to make a good hire, he made Belichik into the type of coach that he wanted, take a look at Gibb's he had several offensive coordinators during his first tenure and he never missed a beat, why? Because he controlled what they did, and that's what a coach does, that's why Wanstad is looking for a job right now he couldn't get the job done without Jimmy Johnson telling him what to do.
