Papz mentioned earlier the analogy of having too many cooks in the kitchen. Let's assume one cook was working on the main dish, while another was dedicated to the sides, and a third was in charge of the dessert. The meal prep would be far more efficient than a single cook attempting all at the same time.

Possibly….I just come from an era where you hire someone to do a job, they are then responsible for there successes and failures….it’s not a village raising an idiot, the person responsible is held accountable, not the group. Too many shoulda, woulda and coulda’s. And every DC has underlings below him/her LB’er, D Line, secondary coaches…and they are the ones dedicated to developing players and game prepping, shouldn’t take a hybrid coaching model for success.
