Steve Mariucci lived through co-coordinator setup Dolphins plan to use. His take?

NFL Network's Steve Mariucci was on a Rams staff that had co-coordinators, a system the Dolphins plan to use. Here's his take on how that can go.

Not a bad read that lists a few teams. Although, I’m not sure the correlation between success and co-coordination exists (pretty small sample size), but the statistics seem favourable.

I have seen it in scenarios (49ers last year for example) but the difference is that I believe Shanahan called the plays

Godsey as Passing Game Coordinator
Studesville as Run Game Coordinator

Frye in the room and working directly with Tua


My BIGGEST question is who calls the plays? Does Flores decide pass or run and the Coordinator of that role calls it? Idk.

I love Flo so much but this scares me

Not sure if you got to read the article, but the author also lists the following:

Those three teams had some success with split coordinators:

· Kansas City Chiefs offense in 2016: Team went 12-4, losing in the divisional round. Chiefs ranked seventh in scoring, 24th in yards, 18th passing and 26th rushing.

· Minnesota Vikings defense in 2019:Team went 10-6, losing in divisional round. Ranked fifth in scoring, 14th in total defense, 13th against the run and 15th against the pass.

· San Francisco 49ers offense in 2019: Team went 13-3, lost Super Bowl. Ranked second in scoring, fourth in yards, first passing and 17th rushing.

All I care about is tbe offense. So Kyle shanahan wasn’t calling plays in 2019 is that what I’m to believe?

why doesn’t this article name the guys who were co coordinators and explain who called plays for each? Seems a bit vague
 
The 2016 Chiefs had Andy Reid as an offense guy as head coach so he oversaw everything. The 2019 Vikings had Stefanski as OC and Kubiak as an advisor so no doubt who is supposed to be in charge. The 2019 49ers had Shanahan, an offense first guy as head coach. Flores is a defensive coach. We need a strong offensive coordinator

exactly. Defense background coach is the difference here. The major one at least
 
Two heads are better than one is the prevailing thought here. Let's just hope that in practicality it works on game-day.
 
Flores has had a lot of turnover on the offensive coaching side so we start from scratch on the OL and QB coaching. Maybe that's why the OL never can learn the different looks and blocking assignments. The center and/or the QB should call the blocking assignments at the line and we're not looking good in either of those area's from day one.
 
My question is who calls the plays? Is Flores going to have one guy calling plays one game and the other guy calling plays the next week? I don't think that'd work. Of course we don't know all the details but the fact is that we wanted to hire a different guy from college and the deal fell thru for some reason so Flores decided to do this but we still don't know how this is supposed to work. I hope somebody ask him the question and I hope he gives us a real answer.

Too many of you stressing over this because you want answers. Flores did not wake up yesterday and wonder this himself, I'm sure he has the plan and will let us fans know when he wants us to know.
 
Alright listen guys I didn’t want to say anything but my source inside Dolphins hq informed me that Flores will in fact be calling the plays and he’s rolling out the new Cover 0 offense. It gets its name from the 0 teams that will be able to cover our offense after Tua, Smith and Najee reunite. Please keep this a secret and my sources can’t be revealed.
 
If, according to the original post, it was so successful for the teams mentioned why did they go back to having one coordinator?
If it was so successful (in this league of copy cats) for those teams why didn’t every team do it?
 
It seems like this Head Coach leaves "no stone unturned", so why don't we think that he has this worked out beforehand? We saw a lot of rookie mistakes but we also saw a team that learned from its mistakes, and learned their positions and their opponents tendencies. I see a two year track record of improvement, and a plan being put together for future success, so I have faith.

My take is: there will be collaboration game planning etc. but when the rubber meets the road we gots 1 dude 100% in charge calling plays ------ with Flo in the ear loop and perhaps "typical" feedback from others. But NO competition relative to play A vs. play B on any particular down and distance. Think outside the box then think again because you still be "in the box" if you be thinkin' box at all! Flo is a quadrilateral triangular kinda folk.

My opinion. Of course.

Hope it works. But of course it ALL starts @QB.
