Guys. The only titles that really matter from a responsibilities standpoint is the HC, and who is calling the offensive and defensive plays. What the play-callers are all called means very little. What everyone else is called, means even less.
That said, 99.9% of the time that means HC/OC/DC. After that, every single title is just a way to give highly desired guys a fancy title that justifies a big salary so you don't lose them to a another team offering it. Everyone wants to be the man who calls plays and these little titles make everyone feel 6" closer to the prize. There aren't suddenly magical coaching roles that never existed before. Even when a position coach gets STC title the responsibilities are usually shared.
AHC
Co-DC
Co-OC
PGC
RGC
...are 99% of the time just made up things to lure top coaching talent. Are there any executives out there? Titles are part of comp. Our new DL coach was AHS/DL/RGC (defensive lol!)/RC at Oregon I think! LOL. Come on.
"But Crippy, the AHS helps the HC with some of his duties to free him up!"
No kidding. As has the senior assistant that the HC trusts the most since the dawn of time.
"But Crippy, some teams have two co-coordinators instead of an OC and a Co-OC!"
Yeah and the only one anyone cares about is who is calling the plays. And that situation, where the title is shared, is really rare. Clemson did it. I can't even think of anyone else. So its not relevant IMO.
All these other crazy titles are again, just ways to lure the best coaches you can. Do you guys really think that the Co-OC, PGC, and RGC are really doing what their titles say? There would be nothing left for your $2M a year OC to do!
You can give every offensive coach a coordinator title if you like. The OC is still the OC.
Not much has changed in coaching with the exception of the armies of analysts on the back end.
*Also, anyone who doesn't think Dorsey would be a huge coup is off their meds.
**And double also even if Franklin is on the hot seat Seider could have a three year deal or a rolling deal and be set up for a nice buyout. He has leverage. So if Franklin goes down Sieder will be fine. He'd practically be able to pick his next job.
FIN.
