TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Georgia Tech has the most productive offense in the Atlantic Coast Conference and yet coach Paul Johnson is definitely in the minority when it comes to play calling.
Not because the Yellow Jackets are one of the few teams in the country running the triple option, but Johnson is one of just two head coaches in the Atlantic Coast Conference calling the offensive plays.
At most ACC schools the offensive coordinator has the responsibility, though the quarterbacks’ coach gets to make the call at Virginia Tech.
Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher joins Johnson in retaining play calling responsibilities while veteran Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer has delegated those duties this season to quarterbacks’ coach Mike O’Cain.
Both Fisher and Johnson say they plan to keep calling plays for the foreseeable future.
