As the crew chief, the supervisor has given him added authority for situations such as this. If he was the U1 or U2 then all you can do is provide the CC with information and hope they do what is right for the game.

Absolutely nothing wrong with these statements.
In my area, the assignor usually books the most experienced official as the R. That doesn't mean he can't screw up or is always right. But if there's a screwup, guess he the assignor is calling. So while there may not be anymore authority per the rule book, there is an expectation from the assignor. If that's not the case in your area, great.
Nowhere did he say he would change the call. He made it clear that the calling official would have to change the call.
If you know I misapplied a rule and you don't have the balls to come to me and discuss it, then you don't have an R's mentality.
