How does it work? He designs the run plays?
No. He and Dawson and the entire offensive staff gameplan and teach what they’re going to run. Each week, based off the defense, they collaboratively select which run plays are going to go on that week’s play sheet. Dawson chooses which ones he wants to run, and when.
If you listen to people here, who don’t have an earthly ******* clue, you’d think Dawson walks onto the field on Saturday and Mirabal hands him a piece of paper and says “here are your run plays”, or even more comical, Dawson says on the headset, “I want to run the ball here” and Mirabal gives him a play call.
Mirabal is the “run game coordinator”. Which is a fancy, made up title for “helps the offensive coordinator design and implement running plays”
Guess what? When you run the ball on Saturday, the concepts of that play (who you’re going to block, how you’re going to block them, who is responsible for who, etc) are taught from Day 1 of spring ball. It’s kind of important for the OL coach to be involved with that since, you know, he’s teaching the **** techniques.
Nobody seemed to care last year when we were getting 6 yards every time we handed it to a back. But now all of a sudden people think Alex and Shannon introduce themselves to one another on the field prior to the game and Dawson does what Alex tells him.
