Most of the people are way off here in that CW has very little role in developing the players. The HC hardly ever works with guys individually, it's mostly the coordinators/assistants...Of course it is his fault that better guys were not picked for these tasks as that is basically the biggest part of his job.

Yes, the head coach cannot work out with every player individually all the time. Assistants do that primarily.

But not only is selecting those assistants a big priority for a head coach, so is supervising them.

I heard a second hand anecdote about Joe Paterno yelling clear across the practice field once when he was pissed off about a drill going on in the opposite end zone.

At the time, the point of the story was to illustrate the power of JoePa's voice. I'm bringing it up to show a head coach can work with the players as a whole, supervise, and be involved without running each and every drill.
