Who calls the plays in a football game?

Answer 1

It depends on the team ... Coaches, offensive coordinators, and/or the quarterback call plays. On the defensive side there are formations called, the equivalent of plays for the defense. On the offense, if a play is called but the defensive formation is not conducive for that play, the QB can call an audible at the line.

Answer 2

The coaches usually call the plays. If not, it's the quarterback for the offense and normally the middle line backer on defense.

Answer 3

The person who creates the play. In some cases this can be the coach, quarterback, or who ever comes up with a decent play such as the team's wide receiver, snapback, or defensive line.
