It was more meant in the sense that the HC shouldn't be meddling in everything or things they don't necessarily know about, like Chiz and offense.

Most definitely, Chiz reigning in Gus's play calling in some half arse effort to save our crappy defense hurt us last year (along with our terrible offensive line play and QB play). That was the #1 thing I hated about Tubs and Dye.

That's the main reason I really want us to hire a top notch offensive mind as our next head coach. Defensive head coaches can't seem to keep their damn hands off the offense long term, but offensive coaches are generally hands off with the defense. The main problem is just making the offensive head coaches care about the defensive recruiting and coaching, but if we hire guys like BVG as DC I don't see it being an issue. It's generally much easier to hire a solid up and coming DC than OC as well.
