At this point, how much is this Kirk's decision and how much is it Phil's, who is starting on defense?

I mean, sure, I know Kirk has the power to veto any decision by Phil and yes, Kirk can decide, Ok we are moving Logan Jones from DL to the OL, but other than that, who really decides who starts and plays on defense? Its got to be Phil Parker, right?

Yup. Phil. And increasingly, Tim Lester.

A good leader hires good people, assigns their responsibilities, and trusts them to carry them out. Posters are always debating how much control KF has over this or that. The reality is that he is the boss, but if his coordinators and position coaches feel a certain way, he is almost always going to trust their judgment. Its a collaboration. If there is not agreement and its a close call, he is the one that settles it. Usually who should be playing is relatively obvious to the coaches as a whole.
