Offensive coordinator
An offensive coordinator is a member of the coaching staff of an
special teams coordinator, this coach represents the second level of coaching structure after the head coach
.
The offensive coordinator is in charge of the team's
offensive line, running back, and tight end
coaches.
Unlike most position coaches in football, who are usually on the sidelines during games, offensive coordinators have the option of operating from the press box instead of being on the sideline.
From 2009 to 2019, nearly 40% of head coaches hired in the NFL had previously been offensive coordinators. [2]
