It's weird a position coach reports to the HC rather than the OC. That seems fraught with dysfunction

It may be more of a CO-OCs deal in practice

This is essentially what it was in 2020. Grimes is not the best play caller.

True but Grimes was the official OC back then. ARod was promoted when he left. Weird dynamics imo

Fair. I think/hope the group hopes it just goes back to how it was in 2020
