It was mentioned in one of the other threads during the Kentucky game that Pit Boss was seen working with Fromm and Swift on the sideline in the second half, roughly at the same juncture where we "rediscovered" the toss sweep.

It was mentioned here. Supposedly the announcers brought it up, too. There seemed to be some changes to the play-calling in the second half that coincided. Is some sort of quiet change afoot? Or, as was also pointed out, was this just the run game coordinator coordinating the run game? The fact that the fans weren't the only ones to take note was intriguing to me. Anyone have more insight?

I remember that as well but never heard anything else. You’d think if that was true it would’ve been news.

Rusty Mansell said this was 100% false.

I don't remember where he addressed it, might have been on 24/7 or twitter.

It wouldn't be hard to see since Pit Boss is on the sidelines.

Pittman is often seen during games working with the OL to make changes in their blocking scheme. Maybe he was informing the QB and RBs of a blocking change and how to take advantage of it.
Now, when I see Coley in the middle of the offense during a time out I will believe he is the one calling the plays instead of Smart.

Don't know what happened after the half but do know I read that 30 of our final 31 snaps on "O" were runs and 17 were outside the tackle box...

Never saw a single toss sweep in the Kentucky game. But we did run outside the tackles more.
