there is NFW CTS defers to CJK as to whether to leave or pull a pitcher. I assume CJK provides counsel - but it is just advice, based on observations, etc.
Remember in one of the early CTS years, he fired the pitching coach a week or so prior to the start of the season and in response announced that he was perfectly comfortable serving as both the HC and PC. I don't recall which season - but it was likely one of the 2 losing years.
A HC must have confidence, but hubris is detrimental.
