Y'all remember when we all thought Dave and Doug were about to get canned and Khan came out and said the two of them sold him on this grand "plan" and they'd get a chance to execute it?

Well, it's pretty clear now that the plan was to get rid of every single last malcontent and Coughlin miscue, and it actually has done a world of good for the offense and a fair amount of good for the defense. This team does look like it has a real bought in chemistry now.

They just forgot one thing.

Todd Wash's scheme can't work without a disproportionate amount of talent spread throughout and a front four that gets home without help.

We don't have the DE rotation the scheme needs, the interior push required to help those ends, that necessary CB that takes away half the field, or a free safety that would even be sniffed on the waiver wire - much less one worthy of the scheme's requirement.

But typically it's up to the HC to decide who his Coordinators are... Being such the football expert you claim yourself to be, you'd think you'd know that.

What I do know is that the GM has a significant say on the football coaching staff in general, including not only the head coach, but also his coordinators and assistants.  When you go over to Uncle Dave's for dinner this week, you can ask him about that.  And its not blind hatred... its just facts.  See the signature for more info.

Most GMs leave the coordinator and assistant coach hires almost 100% up to the HC.
This is very common and Dave and Doug have been transparent about it. 
I'm sure Dave likes Wash more than most fans do or he'd have intervened, and I hope he urges Marrone to make a change, but this is very commonly a delegated decision unless intervention is required.
