A coach question...

[5Stars]

"The Cowboys need coaches to guide special teams, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, safeties and possibly quarterbacks. Another vacancy is at offensive quality control."


What exactely does an "offensive quality control" coach do?

There are coaches for almost all the offensive postions, so what role does the quality control coach do?

"Landry also was the first to employ a coach for quality control. Ermal Allen would analyze game films and chart the tendencies of the opposition for the Cowboys in the 1970s. That gave Landry an edge in preparation, because he knew what to expect from his opponent based on down and distance. Now every NFL team has a quality-control coach, and most have two." - http://www.cowboysplus.com/classic/webspecials/landry/landryinnov.htm

I think they break down film of the opponents to provide to the coaches/players for scouting purposes.

Well I went on memory. Dallas got a source with an actual definition. I couldn't find one, but it's cool. We both learned something.

But yeah, you're right. This place is a good source for football information.
