Even with McD calling the plays he'll still need guys on his staff to review and develop a game plan for each week.
The OC may not be the guy calling in the plays but I can't imagine he won't have any input on the week leading up to the game or even during the game.
JMO.
Curious to see too who they hire. Will it be a vet OC and/or a younger assistant that McD has some connection to over his years around the NFL

He will do what McDaniel did in SF IMO. He will help prepare the game plan for the week. He will put groupings of plays together for McDaniel during the game, and he will even suggest plays to be called. He will also oversee the offensive practice during the week.

Agree with that. There is a significant difference between the guy on the sidelines (McD) calling plays and the guy in the booth. what they can see the D doing will be different. The OC may not call plays, but he'll be in McD's ear often

Ideally your HC has an overall vision he communicates to his coordinators.
They work on the scheme for that vision and the position coaches work on getting the players ready to perform under that scheme.
It's a group effort, play calling is super overrated to begin with. The reality is all plays are designed to work if you understand the defense. There are probably 100 plays in the playbook in any given situation that will work if executed.
Play calling is more about not doing stupid things than doing brilliant ones.

They get good money, nice house and nice cars. Get to yell at big muscular athletes while they are out of shape themselves.

I’m actually excited to see McDaniel call plays. I don’t think we will be seeing a boring offense.
Dear whomever it may concern,
I'd would hereby like to apply for the vacant Offensive Co-Ordinator position. I believe I have all necessary credentials.
The OC for the Dolphins will likely play the same role McDaniel did with the 49ers. He will help develop an offensive game plan for each game and provide input during the game while MCDaniel will be responsible for calling the plays into the QB.

Isn’t Embree filling that role? I know he’s te/asst hc but with McDoobie calling the plays, are we still hiring an OC?

I wondered about that. Seems the booth guy would see the defense better.
hopefully develop plays that play to our players strengths. here's hoping

I'm making no judgement calls. There are successful play callers on the sidelines and in the booth. IMO, even those play callers on the sidelines have guys (plural) in the booth watching the D and making suggestions/observations to the sidelines. Regardless of team, there is no such thing as one play caller and no one feeding him info
