63% of O Coordinators are down on the field. Prolly even more when you have young QB's.. Naturally, they still can communicate through the headsets but for a 19 year old, on the road, in front of 85,000 screaming fans, there is nothing like the calming presence of your coordinator being down on the field

quote:

"One of the things that you gain by being up there is you have very good vision of what's going on and seeing the field. The thing that you lose is you don't have great feel for the game because you're not on the sideline with the players and you really have to rely on our coaches do an outstanding job on offense on the sideline, making adjustments, and giving me feedback of the feel of the game and how our players are feeling because you can't get that feeling, and the emotion play is a big factor in the game of football."

- Doug Nussmeyer

quote:

Joe Cool has become Comfortable Joe. Throughout the years, there is one picture of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco etched in the minds of every fan. It's the one where Flacco sits on the bench after a failed series with a blank look on his face. He talks to no one, and doesn't even look at game photos. As teammates walk by, Flacco continues to stare into the abyss.

quote:

Kubiak, who coached Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana, Steve Young and John Elway, coaches on the field. When Flacco comes off the field, they go face-to-face. "Jim was up in the box so I talked to him on the phone a lot. Gary is down on the field so I go over the play drive with him right away," Flacco said. "A lot of the time when we are sitting there he is talking with the coaches and going over what they saw. And seeing that the picture that we are looking at matches up with the one in the booth.

I'd probably want him on the field. But if the offense was clicking and he was in the booth who cares.







Spoiler: the offense isn't clicking.

Tough one. I guess best answer is to have a QB coach separate from the OC, but you also have staff limitations. You can see the field better from the box which helps with play calling.

The first question we wanted to explore regarding the offensive side of the ball was how many offensive coordinators are in the booth as opposed to being on the field. We found that 63 percent of offensive coordinators choose to be on the field, which is significantly lower than defensive coordinators on the field.

One coach that doesn’t have that issue is offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who has spent exactly one game in the booth during his nine-year NFL coaching career. He told NFL analyst Brian Billick that he much prefers being on the field where he can be close to the action–just not too close. But the more important reason for Kyle to be on the sidelines is his relationship with rookie signal caller Robert Griffin III. Kyle calls the plays on offense, and it is up to Griffin III to listen, understand and execute. If the two find themselves not on the same page, they need to be able to communicate

What I've been saying for a while now. Its okay for someone like saban to not have a play sheet with him cause the guy probably has the entire thing memorized. I would say It would be ridiculous to think an idiot like les could have a play sheet memorized, then I remember we only call about 5 plays and 4 of those are runs

On topic the coaches should be on the field especially cameron. Their was around 5 incidents they showed Harris sitting on the bench staring into space. More involvment could only help.

But hey, im happy with the more losses that way we get les out of here quicker

Coordinators coaching from the sideline are also able to get to the locker room quicker for half time adjustments .

I agree .

Even Mettenberger would come off the field & just sit there behind those black boxes twiddling his thumbs. Saving grace was that he was a senior & knew the playbook well.

I've always liked D coordinator on the field and the O coordinator in the booth. He needs to see how plays are developing.

Meh...

I dont mind having the OC in the booth because its true you can see things from up there that you cant see while on the field. Tactically, its a benefit to be in the box.

But I do get why people want Cam on the field this year with these young QBs. You would think he would be able to settle them down more in person than on the headset.

So, I understand why he prefers to be in the booth and at the same time I think he could have a bigger impact on these QBs during games on the sideline. Maybe send 1 of your offensive coaches up in the booth to be the spotter for you and let you know what he sees from up there?

But I do think that the DC should always be on the field. Chief prefers the booth though.

Henry coached Tight ends in the NFL. Pretty sure he could coach WR and TE with OLine coach taking care of any slack with TE blocking drills. Absolutely no reason to waste a coaching slot on a separate TE coach.
