For any offensive coaches that have their team freeze and then call/change a play from the sideline- How do you do it? I was thinking of having one coach upstairs do a box count (run or pass) and another coach upstairs recognize the coverage. If the box count says run the coach tells me to run the ball and to which side. If the box count says throw, the other coach tells me what coverage were seeing.
Anyone do it this way? Any other way to do it?

Coach you can do it based on tendencies, like D&D and such. I have heard many people talk about this and they base their live call on what the D does in certain situations. Plus you have to keep in mind the fact that based on the game situation your outlook on what to run will change.

Did it last year. Signaled in formation from box. O lined up, QB started cadence, yelled "check"- team looked to sideline for play I sent in from the box based on what D gave me. Backup QBs signaling, along with two coaches, one of which was live. Changed live signaler each series.
Put this in for a team that did a really good job of changing fronts on us the year before and held us in check. Worked really well. To change up, also would signal entire play in to run on quick count to catch the D when they weren't ready. Liked it so much, ran it the remainder of the year.... a few teams did a really good job of stopping it though once they got a read on what I was trying to do.

we run everything from the line. the skill guys all look at play caller for formation motions plays. but things are packaged together so if you miss one signal or mistake one then the whole series changes. to the players it's easy once you know what to look for. but as another coach when you always see the coach pointing or toaching the same area you think the same things are coming. when actually each little point sends the plays to different series and directions. plus we kinda aka i kinda take franklins idea (which we dont run his system) that even if you call a bad play you are playing so fast that you can make up for a bad play here or bad play there with the big plays if someone is out of place. also we have actual freeze signals in the play calling so the players get a play but it's actually to just stand there and draw the other team off. we used it atleast half a dozen times last game and converted all but one. also it works for down times or when the rythem is not there to draw teh defense off and get the offense moving a little.

2 plays called in huddle. QB calls out codeword for whichever play he feels is best

i got this piece of advice from huey and also from coverdale material.
we basically go into the play with a "package" of two plays, looking at a certain defender to decide what play is best for the defense being played.........
* it could be a run/run check based on one defender's alignment
* it could be a run/pass check based on a defender alignment
* it could be a pass/pass check based upon a certain coverage look or alignment.
the moral of the story is, have the simple scenario's worked out on paper, then just have a "this or that" response in your head. sounds simple and common sense, but its a systematic plan instead of trying to count #'s and boxes, free-lance etc. especially considering you are usually flirting with exhausting the play clock when checking from the sideline.
