offensive coordinator
Scoring scheme architect
An offensive coordinator is the coach responsible for a football team's offense—calling plays, designing schemes, and directing the quarterback, running backs, and receivers.
The position ranks just below head coach and often serves as a stepping stone to that role.
The offensive coordinator dialed up a screen pass on third and long.
