So why do you interview people? Seems all you value is what they put on paper.

like Greg Gabriel he is a literal LEGEND round the SF nightclubs where Shanahan' teeth have been cut on outside zoning and strong tight end running plays.
So yes.

The OC typically calls plays, unless it's the HC. So "never called plays" and "never OC" are pretty much the same thing.
Except in GB, where the offensive coaches had different areas of responsibility. His was 3rd downs, and the Packers were pretty good on 3rd downs. (Though I'm sure a certain QB had a lot to do with that, as well as Adams.)

He's never called plays at any level.
He had a very small piece of the whole in GB, apparently. His responsibility was very narrow. Again, I'm not against it. But when compared to say, Kevin O'Connell, or Joe Brady, or even Mike McDaniel, his responsibilities have been limited. That's not to say he will do poorly.

I have no idea how good Getsy will or won't do. I will say though, if you get Bill Callahan to coach the offensive line, that's an instant upgrade that should help out immediately. Better blocking up front makes any offensive coordinator look better. The RPO's and adding a deep, vertical passing game sound like things that Justin Fields can excel at so those two combos at least give me confidence that perhaps they're on to something. As with everything, time will tell the story.

Getsy has called plays. He’s been an OC.

At D3 (before he was even agrad assistant) and D2 (where the HC was an offensive guy - not sure he called plays) schools a decade and more ago. Dan Mullen called plays at MSU. So yes, but it's tough to imagine that is much like running an NFL offense.

As with Poles and Eberflus, it's impossible to predict how good a hire this is at this point, but I like bringing in someone who was involved with such a good, well managed organization. Regardless of what his personal responsibilities were, something good should have rubbed off (yeah I know you could say the same thing about Nagy but it was his stubbornness and inability to adjust that made him suck more than anything).
This last two seasons I've been less excited about football than I ever have in 35 years of watching, because Nagy's disorganized teams just sucked the life out of it for me. Nice to have something potentially exciting to look forward to again.

If Eberflus is bringing Getsby in to run a Kyle Shanahan type offense I'm all for it.
DM and Fields would feast in that scheme.

Josh McCown will probably need all the help he can get if he is to get that HC position
Not that I'm not a fan, I just don't get the hype. Went to LSU to design plays and then he failed at the NFL level as an OC. He was never an OC or ever called plays at LSU, so maybe that OC job in the NFL was too much for him to handle. Good thing he won't be calling plays with the Bears. I'm sure the Bears could use his vertical passing designs though. Supposedly he was involved with the passing game with the Saints before going to LSU
Pretty sure he called plays in college. Either way, all we can do is watch and hope that he's at least better than Nagy

Man watching shanny’s run plays. Did Nagy use the pitch from under center or I formation or off I? It was always using QBs in shotgun.

Getsy seems like a good coach, but I will reserve judgement until I see what his offense looks like. I don't like Fields in an RPO heavy offense. Love him in an outside zone/play action style offense.
