Yeah and doesn't effect the prep as much for us, if it was new D Coordinator calling things, you'd be going up against an unknown. Since the guy calling the D is still there, you still know how they are going to play things.

Unless his role as DC was coming up with gameplanning. Might be a heavy burden on the HC to take that role too. Preparing for Brohm is hard enough, now you have to prepare for Sparks at QB.

maybe the admin doesn't want him calling plays anymore and told him to get someone in there who could? either way. good for us!

Agree, the likely problem is playcalling, poor choice of scheme in various situations.
