nebster21 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I tried the search and it did not work. So from what I read Mike Shanahan is not going to be calling plays. Why are we not giving him the same grief that we gave Zorn when his play calling abilities were taken away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Because he is having Kyle call the plays Now if Bruce Allen told Mike that Kyle would call plays, yea we have a Zorn like issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 i haven't read that, but if its true (not saying it isn't, i just hadn't heard that yet), its probably because shanahan decided that. not because ceratto took them away to give them to a guy who hasn't been involved in the league for a few years. and, furthermore, they probably wouldn't have one guy calling runs, another calling passes, and a 3rd that calls 4th downs. and that would be why its a completely different situation.

chrisbcbu Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Because we actually have an OC calling the plays now. Plus his playcalling wasnt taken away by our vice president of the looney bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST is my boy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Because this is what was planned from the start. Mike the coach, kyle the playcaller. In Zorns case he wanted to call the plays and be the coach.......and he sucked pretty badly at doing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheREALJBird Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 We have a very established person at the helm calling plays in Kyle Shanahan, watch the Texans offense and you'll get a taste of what he can do. Best thing is he's still so young too, so he'll get even better at calling plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins10 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Because Zorn tried and failed in his first sting as a head coach and was replaced by a bingo caller. Shanahan is an established coach and has his son, a proven offensive coordinator, calling the plays. I'm really not sure how you're drawing parallels between these two situations. Shanahan didn't have the duties taken from him because he stunk, he's allowing his staff to work and he's focusing on being the head coach.

santana_4_prez Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It is somewhat of a little known secret that Shanahan gave up most of his play calling duties in Denver, several years before he was fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPinstripe Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Usually its a good idea to look into details before creating a thread. Just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsdude Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It's not unusual at all for the Offensive Coordinator to call the plays. The Head Coach usually decides whether to go for it on fourth down or kick a field goal or make decisions on any other unusual situations such as a two point conversion.

Santana_89 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Because Zorn tried and failed in his first sting as a head coach and was replaced by a bingo caller. Was it necessary to refer to Sherman Lewis as "the bingo caller"? I find it disrespectful. Prior to his retirement in 2004 he had an accomplished NFL career. Sherman Lewis spent thirty-four years as a coach, but had been out of football since the end of the 2004 season before joining the Redskins mid-way into the 2009 season, where he replaced head coach Jim Zorn as the team's offensive play-caller after the sixth game of the season. He attended Michigan State University as an undergrad and later received his graduate degree from Michigan State in education administration. Lewis began his football career at Michigan State as a halfback. He was named to the College Football All-America Team and finished third behind winner Roger Staubach and runner-up Billy Lothridge for the Heisman Trophy in 1963. His professional playing career included parts of the 1964 and 1965 seasons with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. After a brief career as a professional football player, he was hired as an assistant coach for the football team at his alma mater, Michigan State, from 1969 through 1982. He went on to become the receivers coach for Bill Walsh, under whom the San Francisco 49ers won three Super Bowls. Subsequently, in 1992, he became the offensive coordinator for Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren. Who gave Zorn grief when his playcalling was taken away? People were giving him grief BEFORE they were taken away and for good reason. How soon we forget;) This is a weird thread. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stugein Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Scenario 1: You are a manager. One of your employees specializes in a certain area and you decide to make the decision to delegate one of your responsibilities to this person in order to best utilize the varied skill-sets at your disposal for the betterment of the organization. You inform your team of this. Scenario 2: You are a manager. One day your director comes into your office and tells you that he doesn't like the way that you are performing one of your duties, strips you of it, and gives it to one of your employees against your wishes. He then informs your team of this for you. The end result is the same with regard to who is performing the duty, but the scenarios differ greatly in terms of respect for the manager and proper chain of command. Shanny would be delegating; Zorn was marginalized. Thats the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styx491 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Each play will end with a twist I don't know if I can take another swing gate again. At least with M Night it won't be the same twist, twice in a row, within 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
