If you don't understand, you should just ask politely, rather than attempting pathetic pot shot snark, which you are horrible at. Must be all the paint chips you eat.
Belichick hires assistants who do as they are told. He hires dancing monkeys. You would be the perfect Belichick assistant because he loves people who do as much thinking as you (none at all).
He doesn't let his assistants make any decisions whatsoever. When it comes to offense, he draws up the game plans and is detailed in exactly how he wants his offensive coordinator calling the plays in each game. The offensive coordinators have literally no say whatsoever in what happens on offense with Belichick. The offensive scheme the Patriots ran under Belichick was entirely Belichick's. He would meet with Tom Brady and go over the offense. McDaniels was nothing more than a puppet, just like all of their other assistants. Belichick hired him as a gofer when he just a kid out of college, and not long after made him the "offensive coordinator." Thinking that Belichick would trust some dumb kid with his offense is like thinking Clint Eastwood would let some kid out of college direct his films.
On defense, he runs the show on game day in addition to laying out the game plans.
He meets with all of the different units, including special teams, and coaches them. He's a dictator type. He doesn't rely on assistants to do anything other than dirty work. He hires people who can't and won't challenge him, and teaches them nothing other than to do as they are told when it comes to instructing the players.
He doesn't teach his philosophies to his assistants, or give them much in the way of any of his thinking.
Again, you could easily get a position as a Belichick assistant.
