This article weighs in on the future of college play callers moving to the NFL in the wake of Chip Kelly's latest NFL failure. The author references an article from The Athletic about the differences between calling plays in college vs NFL:
"There are simply too many differences in how play callers on each level call the game. From different hash marks affecting the geometry of plays to protections to understanding how to tailor the scheme to personnel, play callers going from college to the NFL have to make a huge jump in complexity."
Makes me also wonder the value in prioritizing NFL experience when looking for potential OCs. College is less complex, but there are still huge differences.
