Blaine was just saying that people in league circles thought that Bill Cally had a large hand in the playcalling. Does that sound about right?

I think it will come out that he had a huge hand in running this offense.

I don't have a particularly strong opinion on this but I suspect we are disagreeing on what exactly makes an owner cross over from merely being hands on to "meddling"? It seems like we don't have an agreed upon standard for this. Maybe we should establish a common/shared definition of what is meddlesome from an owner? 

Mandating a coach give up playcalling duties is meddling. 

 

I do not for 1 second believe AAS mandated Cally give up playcalling duties.

Personally, I don't think Amy called them up and said "Callahan needs to give up play-calling". I do however believe that a conversation was had that indicated something had to change with Callahan and play-calling duties became that thing so indirectly, she stripped Callahan of play-calling duties. At least that's what makes sense to me. 

Telling your football people "this aint working; something has to change" isn't meddling. That's just common sense. If they couldn't see what they were doing wasn't working then they need to be in another business.

How do you view this scenario:

 

AAS: We have to do something to change the narrative.  I'm getting killed by the media and these youtube videos.

Brinker: I guess we could force him to give up play-calling duties?

AAS: Do it.

Ask yourself this....who had motive to leak to Terry Mc. that AAS forced Callahan to give up play calling?  

 

From his article.....A league source......It is believed from many within the staff

 

Personally, I'm 99% certain that it wasn't Brinker or Borgonzi.  Only an idiot would go passive/agressive like this on their boss and these guys aren't idiots.

 

Who???

Sounds like Bill Callahan to me.

Yeah -- I don't think AAS is watching youtube videos. And if she is, she's probably watching Miss Racheal with her grandchildren.

If you want something real to criticize AAS on, it should be putting her son-in-law in a position of power and influence. Only reason he has his job is because is banging the boss's daughter.

He was the run game coordinator and what has been hinted at seems to be that he called the run plays. 

 

I think it was more something like Callahan was trying to run a collaborative playcalling setup.  Probably asked the group what they thought on most of the plays with special attention to the assistants that dealt with the specific down / distance / situation... and then likely deferred to his dad on run calls. 

 

Plays took forever to come in and didnt improve all that much after he lost playcalling. We had 3-4 snaps last week when the playclock was on zero and didnt get called.

Unless I missed something has anyone else in titans media corroborated or even commented on this story?

I could easily see where she gave the green light to it once it was brought up in their meeting. In fact I doubt they would make that move without at least getting Amy's blessing first since it would obviously result in a lot of media attention.

There were numerous people on this board who said don't draft either Wilson or Farley.

I was one of those people. I complained about the stupidity of both those picks. We desperately needed picks that would make an immediate impact. There were obvious major red flags about both of them. First round picks should be foundational cornerstone picks.

We did that already, some people are just stubborn

 

Firing the coach/overruling the GM - Not meddling

Striping play call duties from the HC - meddling

nixing a trade of a beloved star like henry - not meddling

 

The big issue is that many fans have this unrealistic expectation that an owner should never be involved in or overrule the football people.

I'm trying to reach a consensus opinion. I think some disagree with this and have a lower bar for what qualifies as meddling.

Those types of players aren't common late in the first round.

I agree. I don't think that's meddling. I also personally don't see Amy as a meddlesome owner. Many do however seem to and I'd like to hear their reasoning.
