Why are we looking for an offensive coordinator?

I tend to agree more with Ghoolie (God, did I say that?
). The OC hire will be just as meaningful as the GM hire. The real fight to watch this season will be over whether they serve Starbucks or Kona Coast because neither will be doing any other real job.
EDIT: Back to draft fantasies because Browns fantasies are discouraging (other than the cheerleader thread).
Do we know whether or not the new OC will be calling plays, or is that a stupid question? Hence, OC not doing real work?

A number of HCs have OCs, but retain playcalling... O'Brien in HOU, Reid in KC and McCarthy in GB spring to mind.
There are examples of DCs who don't call the D as well.
Point being there is "real work" for Coordinators to do besides call plays on gameday... if the HC empowers them to do that work. Assembling game plans, running practices and the Offense's "room" are among them.

But...WE need an OC that calls plays......and assembles a game plan...and runs practices...and etc. etc. We need Hue to just be a coffee fetcher.
Fair to say?

Whatever he does keep him away from redzone calls, TOs/clock management and the little red flag.

Sadly, even if he DOESN'T call the plays he'll still be in charge of TO's, clock mismanagement and the red flag.

How about a Pittsburgh castoff? Well he might be good.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The man who helped Ben Roethlisberger dominate the Browns over the past six seasons will now try to turn the tables on the Steelers.
Former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who didn't have his contract renewed by the Steelers last week, has been hired by the Browns as the first offensive coordinator under Hue Jackson, a league source told cleveland.com.
Haley, 50, is expected to call plays under Jackson because of his vast experience in that role. He'll also have an opportunity to coach a new rookie quarterback such as Sam Darnold or Josh Rosen, who are candidates for the Browns at No. 1 overall.
Word out of Pittsburgh is that Haley clashed with Roethlisberger, but Big Ben didn't admit to that during a radio interview on Jan. 17th. Instead, he described a positive interaction he had with Haley after the Steelers lost 45-42 to the Jaguars in the divisional playoffs. In that game, Roethlisberger threw for a franchise playoff record 469 yards and five touchdowns.
"We talked and laughed about the season and how proud we were of how we improved as an offense," Roethlisberger said on 97.3 The Fan in Pittsburgh. "To be able to come out as the top three or five offense...just how proud we both were of everything that was accomplished with this offense."
