What the coaches ‘up top’ do in the press box during a game

Clearly Miami has had issues with game management throughout the first half of the 2023 season. The clock, timeouts, kneel downs, personnel/substitutions and coaching staff penalties have all happened through six games.

I decided to reach out to a few coaches with college experience, including in the ACC, to ask what the jobs of the “coaches in the box” really are and who is responsible for what on game day.

As you’d expect from friends of mine, both coaches believe this all falls on the head football coach. In the world of leadership- the person making the most money is the one that carries the heaviest weight of the outcomes.
