I've always wondered what a quality control coach does, anyway. Anyone know?

In the NFL, the entry-level position on coaching staffs is usually as one of the quality control assistants.

At times they are called "offensive assistant" or "defensive assistant," but the "quality control" portion of the job is at the root of things. For the Broncos' Brian Callahan, whose father, Bill, is a former Nebraska and Raiders head coach, has the job on offense, and Jay Rodgers is the defensive quality control assistant.

They do have some on-field duties in practices, often they work with one or more position coaches to gain experience as they prepare to become position coaches themselves. Callahan, for example, was the Broncos' running backs coach for the final month of the season after Eric Studesville was promoted to interim coach.

But overall, a quality control assistant's job is rooted in game preparation. They usually work at least one or two weeks ahead in the regular season.

They prepare the statistical analysis as well as the initial video study of upcoming opponents. The defensive quality control assistant breaks down opposing offenses, including how often they line up in specific formations and how they use various personnel groupings.

He charts down-and-distance situations, field position, substitutions, etc., and then gives that report to the team's defensive staff when they begin their game planning each week during the regular season.

The offensive quality control assistant would do the same in regard to opposing defenses and then give the reports to the offensive staff.

Because of that they must work ahead of the coaching staff. If the Broncos face say, the Chiefs, in Week 3, the quality control guys have to have their reports done before the rest of the staff begins the game planning for that game.

When the team is getting ready to face the Chiefs, the quality control guys are already scouting the next opponent.

It's a difficult job that requires a grind-it-out work ethic with a detail-oriented approach because the charts have to be correct.

Most coaches start on the vocational path with the job. The guys who don't do it well don't make it long enough to get promoted most of the time.

Often it's also an ex-player's first taste of coaching after he expresses interest in trying to be a coach, a job that weeds out those who aren't interested enough to keep at it.

Longtime Titans offensive line coach Mike Munchak for example, a Hall of Famer as a player, spent three years as an offensive quality control assistant with the team before being promoted to offensive line coach — a job has had the last 14 seasons.

that is the job description of a quality control coach
