The OC is in the booth with a few assistants. one guy is in charge of watching the monitor for the previous play. another is watching a monitor with split screens of the past 4 plays. another assistant is watching a monitor with similar down and distance's previous plays. these guys are looking at defesive set ups and schemes. The OC overlooks all of them and gathers information to decide what play he is going to call.
The play goes down to the assistant who is with the head coach and that guy sends the play into the QB.
The Head coach at times, talks about dinner plans and what play he might call with 5:02 left in the 4th quarter, regardless of the score. For some reason, 5:02 is a crucial moment for ALL NFL head coaches.
I have never been in on this information at all,
BUT I DID STAY IN A HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS LAST NIGHT
Hope this helps,
