OC Luke Getsy reveals where he would call the offensive plays from!
Luke Getsy was hired by the Bears this off-season after a very stellar career so far as a quarterback coach. Indeed, as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator under Matt LeFleur, Getsy worked closely with Aaron Rodgers, who wound up winning back-to-back MVPs the last two seasons.
In the NFL, a lot of offensive coordinators choose to be from the sideline to call the plays. They want to be able to interact with their players directly. Others choose to be from the boot upstairs to have a full view of the schemes. There is not one good or bad method, only preferences.
Well, here is what Bears senior writer Larry Mayer reported on the subject:
Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy told reporters Monday that he plans to coach from the sideline during games this season. It enables him to have a better feel for the game and communicate with players face-to-face. Said Getsy: "There's just a comfortability of being on the field. There's a look someone in the eye, have a conversation with them, get to see what they really feel when you're asking a question. You can have great conversations with everybody on offense, not just the quarterback. And I think that I'm a 'feel' person. Shoot, when I play golf, if I can't see it, it gets ugly. But if I can see it and feel it, it goes pretty good. I'm the same way with this game. I like to see it and feel it and I feel like I see the game, honestly, better from the field."
