Head coach decides both


Do OC and DC have anything to do with playcalling whatsoever, or is it just cosmetic? Never understood their roles, just looked at the HC's playbooks.


No, only the head coach and his playbook determine plays. OC and DC affect players ratings...not quite as much as the HC but more than position coaches.

I look at OC and DC almost as HC in waiting.

That's kind of what I figured. I still try to horde the best coaches with 100s for specific ratings (pass blocking, accuracy, m2m coverage, whatever) in hopes they'll give rookies a big boom in training camp. If they have playbook combos I like that's just a bonus so they could replace a HC later. Thanks for the info.

Only the headcoach matters for the playbooks....the rest of the coaching staff is cosmetic for the most part with a minimal gain to player development. When I say minimal, I mean I haven't noticed any difference between a 100 rated coach and a 50 rated coach.

JDB did say he had plans to make the coaching staff more significant in the future but who knows when that will be.
