Good point.

I think his real problem is that he has a hard time balancing the his desire to focus on offense with fulfilling other HC duties. It's clear he really enjoys getting lost in the strategy/schematics of offense and because of that, i think it's very possible that he doesn't pay enough attention to the motivation and overall management of the team on game day.

Being on the sideline as an OC is fine, because you can still focus all your energy on the offense. However, as a HC/OC on the field, you don't have that luxury. Being in the box would allow him to delegate more of those tasks he either doesn't enjoy or isn't as effective at. Ultimately, I hope he figures out what works best for him, the staff, and most importantly the team. Re-evaluating what is "standard" practice isn't necessarily a bad thing.
