If he refused Arians, BA would throw a few expletives at him and yank that headset from BL’s ears. Guess Bowles just shrugs it off.
Arians would call the plays himself, but Bowles obviously cannot do that. Apparently Bowles went nuclear after one of the games and received the green light to fire Lefty. Unfortunately he also could not figure out anyone else who he felt could call the plays. So basically Leftwich has been a guarantee for firing since midseason.
Arians was not the offensive playcaller here.

I think Prime is trying to tell Navy that BA had an ace in the whole option (his own background) that Bowles did not

I was responding to the scenario that Navy proposed of Arians snatching the headset from Lefty. In that scenario Arians has the freedom to do that because he would have called the plays.

Correct. Bowles had to lean on a playcaller because it’s not his skill set.
