I think it’s amusing that people assume the plays being called are just pulled out of thin air on gameday. An OC has a litany of things to do through the week in preparation to gameday and including on gameday, even if he isn’t calling plays. Suggesting anything less just proves ones naivety / lack of experience. 

No doubt. But again, Gase will doing the tasks that you describe. For all intents and purposes, he is the offensive coordinator. When someone asks who the "OC" is on Gase's staff, they are asking who the second most important offensive coach is.

The beauty of threads like this is they identify who understands the game and coaching vs those who just read numbers off a list.  

If McVay was a offensive coach for 5 years with the Browns people here would hate him, say hes lousy, sucks.  Same position with the Chiefs, doing the same job, a genius.

The man has coached in the NFL since 2010, yet this thread is littered with "experts" who are mocking him and saying he's incapable of doing his job. With all due respect, how the hell would any of you know better then the people he works with? Who by the way, happen to be NFL coaches, and who continue to employ him?

Actually, he has coached in the NFL since 2008 starting as an Offensive Quality Control Coordinator in Tenn.  I left that part out of the resume but should have included it.

Play calling is not the be all, end all responsibility for the Offensive Coordinator.  You have Offensive line coach, Running backs coach, Receivers' coach, Tight ends coach, Quarterbacks coach, and 24 Offensive players {game day roster}.  You also have Assistants to all of the Positional Coaches.  Who do you think Coordinates all of these people.  The Offensive Coordinator.  There's also practices, injury oversight, game planning, other personnel, coordination with the defense and probably a thousand other things we are not aware of.  Play calling is a game activity. Gase will handle those things.  Everything else will fall to the coordinator.  Gase will oversee, but the nuts and bolts, day to day will most likely fall to his coordinator.  To minimize his importance/effect because the Head Coach is the de facto offensive  coordinator is short sighted and untrue.  With all of Gase other duties, the Offensive Coordinator remains an integral part of the Coaching Staff.  He needs someone whom he trusts, and is familiar with. Someone who understands him and his system. If Dagwood McStuffins is that guy, his guy then so be it.

That's a powerhouse QB duo right there.

Remember.both of them were superior quarterbacks, compared with Kliff  Kingsbury,  the reigning "Einstein" of Offensive genius and innovation.  Some play, others teach.  Most great NFL "minds" were mediocre players or worse.  Some never played at all.  I know you were kidding, just making a point.,

Looks like this could be happening soon.  The Dolphins gave him permission to interview and accept other jobs.  Flores must be bringing in his own OC naturally.

Already mentioned in this thread. No worries probably needs its own thread so its not buried.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Dolphins have allowed OC Dowell Loggains to speak with other teams.

Loggains interviewed for Miami's head-coaching vacancy, but he was passed over for the job. Now free to interview with other teams, Loggains is expected to join ex-Dolphins coach Adam Gase in New York.

Thank you for the post.  

What I find fascinating is that the Dolphins interviewed Loggains for the HC position and for that they must have thought rather highly of him overall as a coach.  

If he was a bum this is something they wouldn’t have done.  

Think that the Jets didn’t interview Bates or Rogers for their HC vacancy, so at a minimum the Dolphins saw that this guy as  an overall positive.

Turns out there is a little known thing called the "Looney Rule". It mandates that all vacant Head  Coaching job interview  searches include at least one "Dumpy White Guy" in the process.  Good Post,
