Where do the majority of Power Five OCs call play from? The Field or Booth?
It's a debate as old as time, should the Offensive Coordinator be calling plays from the sideline along with the players or in the booth where they can see the entire field from a much better angle.
With that being said, we here at Rivals decided to take matters into our own hands and see where every single Power Five Offensive Coordinator calls plays from and the full list is below.
