Every assistant Coach I know is having a problem with SOME aspect of their respective programs. State your opinion, but once the Head Coach makes a final decision that is not to your way of thinking or liking, you must accept it and work like hell to carry it out.
I went thru this in my early coaching days, too. It will always be this way. Bide your time until you get your own program, and are able to have the "final say".
Best wishes this season!

COACHES' GUIDE:

9. Laughter is a great medicine. Keep your sense of humor.
10. Curb profanity.

12. When a decision is made not to your way of thinking or liking, you must accept it and work like hell to carry it out.
13. If you are interested in another job, come see me and I'll do my very best to help you. Any coach who is constantly calling and inquiring about numerous job opportunities will definitely be given his notice to make a change.

22. Never physically manhandle a player or verbally threaten him.
23. Make the best out of what you have.
24. Must control meeting time.
