Per Coughlin -- McAdoo will call plays from sideline

with this uptempo offense.

of assistants in the booth or on the sidelines is one of those things that is never an issue unless things are going to hell. If you go back to the 1980s, Erhardt was in the booth calling the offense (Ray Handley actually acted as his conduit on the field) and Belichick would stay on the sidelines.

There was the whole controversy of Bill Sheridan calling the defense from the booth. Now, he was so terrible that they could have put him in the friggin defensive huddle on the field and CC Brown would still blow his coverage assignment.

I wonder what the overall industry standard is now related to coordinators on the field or in the booth.

I know I prefer to be in the booth than the sideline. In general, you tend to see more and see big picture what's going on. Then you can rely that information to anyone on the sideline. Being on the sideline is a cluster fuck of just activity. Sure you can talk to your position group and give pointers and feedback, but I like being upstairs.

D Coordinators should be in the field, but O-coordinators should be in the booth to see what defenses are doing to counteract it.

to see what the defenses are doing and who just ran the wind sprint down the field covering one of our receivers.

I agree with the above comment from BigBlueDowntheShore.

The Real Issue Is That The Guy Has Never Called A Play....ANYWHERE!!

for 10 years or so. This doesn't trouble me.

why shouldn't Defensive Coordinators be in the booth so they can get a bird eye view to better counter-act what the offense is doing?

to analyze the D between plays and still get the play in on time, especially if you won't to run a faster pace offense.

Adjustments to what the D is doing are made between series using photos and conversing with another coach in the box.

There's also value in being able to communicate with the offensive players between series when the OC is on the field.
