According to an NFL source Edgar Bennett will be promoted to OC and Tom Clements to associate head coach with play calling duties.
If it turns out to be true, should improve McCarthy's game management. I'm surprised McCarthy would give up play calling - perhaps he's not so "stubborn"?
So deep to jordy every play?This is pretty big news. As I said in the shout box I'm curious if this essentially means Aaron will be calling plays.
Congrats to Bennett, I think he does a good job with the receivers. It'll be interesting to see how he handles more responsibility.
As far as MM, I'm glad he'll be able to focus on some other areas. I think he's a great HC and I thought he was a pretty good play caller who just seemed to take his foot off the gas when the team was up big. It'll be interesting to see if the play calling blamers next year jump on Clements throat like they did MM's. Like I said though I think Aaron will be calling a lot of his own plays now.

who knows why he is giving it up, this is what so many of us wanted him to do years ago. this is a very good thing for the team.After nine years? If true, I wonder how much this may have been influenced by events outside of football. Maybe his brother's unexpected demise has caused him to consider lightening his load a bit. With an offense chronically positioned at or near the top of the NFL, there does not seem to be a performance-based reason driving this alleged decision.

Yep.I don't know. Starts in 2006, gives it up in 2015 - gotta think that counts as stubborn.
In Bart Starr's day, most QBs called their own plays. You had the same personnel on nearly every down, whether it was run or pass...QB, HB, FB, TE, FL, SE. There were no helmet communications, no rapid fire substitution packages. If a play was sent in, it was at a timeout or by rotating guards.I was reading an article about a month ago that said Aaron Rodgers is already calling about one half of the plays. I don't think he would have called run with four minutes left to go in the game. But I could be wrong. Lombardi let Bart Starr call almost all of the plays. Maybe it's time to go old school.
Very much this! Add this may help better the team's replay challenge/timeout decisions. Ironically, the Dez Bryant challenge was a historically huge success but, overall, Mac's record has not been good.If this report is true, changes are indicated beyond just who calls the plays.
Having an OC and an assistant HC calling plays would indicate McCarthy intends to bring more focus to defense and special teams. He's been acting as the de facto OC.
I endorse these changes on all fronts.
