Calling a coordinator a gofer just because he doesn't call the plays is ignoring all of the coaching, teaching, and prep that a coordinator does on a football team. It's reducing the duties and responsibilities to like 5% of the job and saying, "Well, because he didn't do that 5%, he did nothing." And it's honestly saying that EB had more power and say within the organization when he was a position coach than when he was the OC. At least as position coach, the only orders he took was what plays to teach. The rest was completely up to him.
Be reasonable, man. EB did a lot. Did just as much as Nagy, Childress, Doug, or any of his Philly OCs.
