Per Chip:
Harbaugh is the one tasked with calling plays, but game plans are a collaborative process. Fleck admitted this week that he "interjected probably more than I have ever" on the headset during the Eastern Michigan game.
Fleck said that wasn't a criticism or a knock against his new play-caller. He wasn't happy with the running game against Nebraska and was hellbent on fixing it. He wanted to run the ball endlessly to build confidence and a physical mentality.
"I had to do something as a head football coach to instill something in that moment and in that game," Fleck said.
Harbaugh agreed with his boss. He wanted to make a point with his play calls too.
Their premise made sense but only as an outlier. The offense's potential still revolves around Kaliakmanis' passing. Going back to the old way of being run-centric cannot be the recipe.
To that end, Harbaugh gave an interesting answer when asked to define the most challenging part of being a play-caller.
"Getting the quarterback into the flow of the game," he said.

Greg Harbaugh Jr., Gophers play-caller, has shown us two extremes — and two W's
Greg Harbaugh Jr.'s first two games as Gophers co-offensive coordinator have been complete contrasts, and the next test comes at No. 20 North Carolina.
