Do you coaches have a say in the off season when it comes to the offense? Defense? Enitre staff or headcoach?

I'm the DC and I write the defensive playbook but we do discuss changes with other coaches especially those at positions that may be effected by the change. When I finish I give the HC copy for him to review so that we can discuss any questions before we print the final copy. The HC, who's also the OC, does the same thing.

This will be my second year as a DC and we have a new HC this coming year. Last year the HC was pretty much a dictator. He always said that he has 51 percent of the vote while the rest of the staff had 49 percent. I really have no problem with that as long as you listen to the other ideas and reasoning before knocking it. So, there were many times when position coaches had great ideas that I agreed with, but the ideas were shot down because it was primarily his way or the highway. I always got the idea that he felt that the team was HIS and not OURs (as in the staff as well as the players). This new HC has pretty much given me the freedom to run whatever I want.
Sorry for the rambling, but to answer your question, as I'm still learning all the ins and outs of being a DC I pretty much keep my playbook open for suggestions and ideas that the other assistant coaches have during the off season. I don't want it to be my defense that we are running, but I want it to be ours. I also agree with dcohio on "we're not changing the defense, let's talk about how to make what we do better".
