I don't think WE can judge his performance. What he does doesn't take place on camera and it's not always measurable in terms of wins and losses or completions or even TD/INT ratio.
He's coaching guys. He's calling plays. He's still at the mercy of players executing what he's putting in. If a player doesn't execute or a defender blows up a play, that's not really a direct reflection on the offensive coordinator.
I see Planeteers start whining about terrible red-zone play calling all the time when the play calls were just fine but the players didn't do their jobs. They don't execute but we sit here and blame the OC. Not his fault. He called a play that got a guy open in the endzone but the QB didn't see him/overthrew him/he got sacked.
Didn't we just recently learn something about the sexy coaching choice - the young guy who came from a SB team and improved all their offensive numbers. Let's use the same criteria by which we're judging Daboll to see how Haley is going to do calling plays and micromanaging the offense for the Chiefs the past 3 years. It doesn't really work that way.
