I'll put it this way..he's called a good game much more often than a bad game this year and he's had our offense get the job done regularly, despite limited talent.  

Hated when I heard he was hired as OC but he's impressed me despite a few bumps.

People see some predictability, moments of conservative calls, and see a few more well-designed plays get executed poorly or defended well and they begin pointing fingers at the OC.  It's kind of lazy really. If you go through the play-by-play of most games or watch the NFL rewind with the play by play pulled up in the margin, Hackett has done a good job of mixing things up the vast majority of the season.

I think I agree with most of your points. I don't want change coordinators. I just want him to treat the early-game like he does the late-game. If you look on paper, we're exactly 50-50 run / pass (527 to 527), but it seems like he spends most of the first half running the ball and then most of the second half passing the ball (typically when we're losing). There's no balance in that type of gameplan.

When he isn't run, run, pass, he implements a very good game plan. I don't think he gets enough credit overall, but like players, coaches have bad games too. I think Hackett needs to balance the game better throughout all four quarters.
