per Joe Christensen:

“You don’t want to minimize his role in the whole scheme of things,” Gophers offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said. “But I think because we’ve all been with him so long, we really kind of think on the same page.”

“I didn’t call any offensive plays and didn’t call defensive plays, but I knew what was being called,” said former Gophers coach Glen Mason, now an analyst with the Big Ten Network. “I always thought my role was to manage the game, so all the major decisions that took place, I made.

“You didn’t micromanage, but you might all of a sudden say, ‘Hey, play coverage here, or blitz here’ — that type of thing. My offensive staff did a good job calling the plays. Ninety percent of the time, I’d say, ‘Hey fine, let’s go with it.’ ”
