If he does that, is Clement's time in GB done? MM can't just rollback the clock.
I doubt McCarthy views it that way, but Clements might. Ty Dunne notes this is the second time Clements has lost play calling duties (former Bills OC).
Its the structure of the no huddle and the personnel mismatch that cause the problem. This will make no difference unless the plays change, or the approach to constructing the game plan changes.
Depends on the outcome.
Who's going to manage strategy, you know, like wasting and mismanaging TO's, with Stubby calling plays?
Pick me! Pick me!

That might be the exact reason for the change. MM said in the off season that Clements would be responsible for the game plan, because to be an effective play call the game plan has to be yours. Perhaps MM is acknowledging that the game plans have not adapted to the changing aspects of the season.
^^^ and it wouldn't surprise me to learn that some of the players (Read: Rodgers) may have lost confidence in the game planning 'structure' and 'process'
I wonder what AR will think of this? Hasn't the story been that he and Clements are close, that Rodgers thinks a lot of Clements? The rumor has been for several years that there is some friction between McCarthy and Rodgers, not serious, but they aren't close.
whodathunkit, after we thought mm's play calling over the years was so bad, that so many would be clamoring for him to take it back over. if we run sideways on a 3rd and short now i'll...
Some of the playcalling the last couple weeks has been a real head scratcher.
I don't think this will make much of a difference - I hope i'm wrong, but it's the players that need to execute - and I've seen players not doing their part (dropped passes, wrong routes, giving up on plays, etc.).
i was one of many saying that M3 needs to give up play calling duties at the end of last season
although the play calling has sucked hard this season, i seriously doubt we're going to see a big improvement with the fat fuck calling plays again
i do expect to see a lot more bombs thrown on 3rd and 1 now though
