Do you think they have autonomy? For some reason, I feel like Marrone sets the rules that they have to work under.

I think Doug was saddled with a bad QB and a N/S runner which dictated what sort of offense they needed to run.
Then was given an OC and a QB that had a playbook tailor made for each other only to have the QB go down with essentially a season ending injury and had to play it by ear with a 6th round rookie.

If you bring in a West Coast Offense OC and then try to force him to run the same old schtick we've had, he doesn't deserve to make it out of week 2 with his job.
I believe he's giving Gruden, who has a little bit more on his resume than previous OCs, full autonomy.

We'll know for sure very early in our season.
