I've always thought that Playcalling improved the average outcome of your plays. So for example if a runningback games 4.50 yards/carry in a given situation with an average offensive playcalling coach, he might gain 4.75 with a very good offensive playcalling coach.
I think that my hypothesis is a lot easier to test than yours(that playcalling relates to staying true to the preset gameplan). Just hold as many factors as possible constant and then sim a few thousand game and graph the average outcome of pass plays and run plays on the y axis vs the coach rating on the x axis.
