There are 5 main groups for NFL coaches.

1. Head Coach-

Essentially, runs the team. Makes all significant decisions, including but not limited to draft picks, trades, free agents, player contracts, day-to-day practice, depth charts, in-game substitutions, general scheme. Has sub-coaches to aid him in most decisions.

2. Assistant Head Coach-

Consider him the team's vice-president. Has no official duties, except those assigned to him by the head coach.

3. Offensive Coordinator-

Develops offense strategy, plays, and players themselves.

4. Defensive Coordinator-

Develops defense strategy, plays, and players themselves.

5. Special Teams Coach-

Assigned to work with kickoff/4th down strategy, including punting, kicking, long-snapping, returning, and blocking.

He's keeps off/def/special coordinators cooperating. Supervises general state of all three formations, makes the final call on a play while playing a GAME(often, after adjusting it with coordinators.)

Is responsible for:

  • state of the W/L counter,
  • choosing worthy players, choosing starters, assigning audibles, special teams and sometimes, triple-threat "butchers" ;-),
  • raising motivations and ambitions of players("morale"?),
  • MASSES of paper work (processing plays/formations; booking hotels/motels on "away games"; creating work-outs for different players + diets; contacts with superior institutions: NCAA, NFL, NFSHSA, NAIA et cetera...).
  • Contacts with parents/owners/presidents + many, many other things...
