Some head coaches dont do anything.....ala Joe Paterno the past 10 years....some coaches are part of he playcalling(offensive or defensive) and the calls go thru their headset and if they dont like it, they change it, or they make the call directly themself.

hey, I'd like to know too...it's not like I ever got to play on a football team. Always wondered why they say a HC in football is the most influential coach in sports

shyt I remember some games Bobby Bowden didn't even know the score at half time.
They set the tone and the team philosophy. Most of their work is done during the week and in the off season. In games, and it depends on their relationship with the OC/DC/ST coaches, they might only suggest plays and say when to kick it/go on 4th/use timeouts vs all the way up to taking over calls themselves.
Practice times, Strength training philosophy and schedules, player recruiting/acquisition (in college), player development, depth charts, sitting injured players - all HC
They're more like a CEO, in that they hire people they trust in the active roles (OC & DC) then depending upon how the team performs they make adjustments whether it's giving a tired team a break or upping the tempo when the team needs a boost. If a team comes out flat it's usually the HC's fault.
I was gonna name him too, but I didnt wanna upset the FSU ppl on here.
But yeah, his last 4-5 years, I dont think he even wore a headset. LOL
Bob Stoops isnt too far behind him tho.
