I’ve never heard of defensive pass game coordinator. Sounds like a resume stuffer.
Yesterday you thought there were two run game coordinators.
Now you’ve learned enough to know it’s just a resume stuffer.
Your takes are almost criminally terrible.

Well when two people are hired to be run coordinators then yeah.
Ok look...
You’re getting confused/hung up on wording.
Stump Mitchell is the offensive run game coordinator.
Al Holcomb is the defensive run game coordinator.
Two completely different and separate roles that in no way overlap.
Yes but at the time when he was hired it was just announced as run game coordinator. It didn’t come out until later when they said defensive run game coordinator. Which is when I made my orignal comment about 2 run game coordinators. Which absolutely is nothing more than a resume stuffer. Just like AHC

You know...Arians has a point.
A problem with how analytics are often applied is that something that is true for a group as a whole may not be true for each member of a group in every situation. Maybe league-wide analytics tell you that it makes sense to go for it on 4th and 2 from your own 39. But if your team happens to be a poor running team, you're playing a good run defense, and you've been getting stuffed all day, the "odds" maybe are not what the analytics say they are. Or maybe it's a day where the left side of your OL has been on a roll, the defense lost it's run-stuffing DT in the first quarter, and you think you can get that 2 yards even if the "analytics" tell you the odds are less than 50%. There are any number of variables specific to the teams at issue, the weather, the players, etc., that make what the analytics tell you of little use.
I think what Arians is saying if that you have to look at all those variables when making a decision, and while the analytics may be good for challenging general assumptions that are flawed, they may not be a lot of good in particular situations.
I get that.
But at some point this becomes a common sense thing, right?
The guy who has worked his whole career on the defensive side of the ball would be the defensive run game coordinator and the guy who has worked his whole career on the offensive side of the ball would be the offensive run game coordinator, not that they would be working the same job?
