[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2808206, member: 34435"] Former coaches made it very clear that there's a meeting early in the week where GP gives input to and accepts and/or amends the proposed offensive approach. This included not only the strategy but sometimes also who he wanted to see used more or less. Once that is done I've been told that he doesn't do anything else with the offense and rarely gives game day input. Sometimes the offensive staff couldn't even raise him on the headset. If GP wants to run the ball more to control the clock I'm told that has historically been decided early in the week. All that said...my information (first-hand) is from coaches that are not on the current staff so perhaps things have changed. You are correct that 4th down calls and 1 v 2 points attempts and timeouts are in his purvey on game day as well as decisions related to clock management. I used to know exactly when that game plan meeting occurred but for some reason I cannot recall it now. I could ask my father who golfed with former coaches two and three times a week not too long ago. [/QUOTE]
