For example, Schotty was OC for Seattle last year but we got him by promoting him to the made up title of passing game coordinator. Pretty en vogue thing to do nowadays. I think it'd be pretty easy to argue assistant HC is above OC.

I agree. And it just doesn't make sense to me to have the "apprentice" making the decisions and the mentor in the background. Game time decisions don't always allow time for a 1 on 1 session; let the experienced coach make the calls and coordinate/train with the assistant HC as time permits.

For the record, I don't think Leftwich would take that arrangement. I'm just saying what I would prefer. We really need an experienced HC to straighten things up and establish some semblance of order right now. It's just not an entry level situation.
