One person (paraphrased here) says "but you're just stuck with whatever gameplan you submitted" and Jim responded "quality of coaching staff matters there" -- make whatever inferences you like from that exchange. I took it to mean that perhaps your coach (or staff) actually are expected to alter your gmaeplan based on the game situation -- and that presumably abetter coach will do a better job of this. That would be, if true, at least a partial answer to the question originally raised in this thread.

One thought - does a better playcalling coach increase (or decrease) the odds of getting the "The defense looked very/extremely familiar with that play." event? That seems to be key to managing odd gameplans (for sake of noting, the Fort Worth - North Plainfield matchup where teams combined for 139 passes had 26 "very familiar" plays, exactly twice as many as any other game this season).
