Funny to see here so many blame GS for the office to play calls, defensive, play, calls, and player substitutions. Do people really think that GS called that fourth down play in case he did not? Or that keeping four in and playing 41 who only throws his arm into people and can’t wrap up is not the DC‘s call?

Yes, there’s a question as to whether these people are great choices for the jobs but let’s be real about who’s calling what plays

It’s not the play call, it’s the decision not to punt. Surely that’s on Greg.

True, that’s our point but people here are posting as if he’s calling the players and subbing the defensive players a lot of just off base posting and blaming Plenty of blame to go around, but not for those things there needs to be some responsibility for the OC and DC

Whoever called the play should go with him. I've counted three (or is it four?) one-yard, fourth-down plays just like that one, failing every time. That should have been a punt.

Greg is the head coach. If he isn't making the decision on what to run from 4th and a foot on his own 20 yard line, that's his fault.

Wow amazing people think that the individual players are called by the head coach. I would assume in a rare situation that occurs, but in general, the coordinators are calling to place and that may give some concept to what’s occurring.

Putting that aside let’s go.!

If you think the slow subs on defense to drain the playclock are anyone's idea but Gary's, well then your a silly goose.

Remember - literally no one decent would answer his phone call. He runs the show.

Cheese You gotta get real it’s not feasible nor have we seen the head coach calling in place. I get your micromanaging point but it’s silly to think that he’s calling the players and blame him for individual play calls.
