Why do coaches wear headsets in football?
They are in constant communication with the offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, quarterback, and others. The offensive and defensive coordinators often times are the ones that call the offensive and defensive plays, respectively. The quarterback also has a headset in his helmet that can be used for communication. The reason the headset is necessary is because these people the coach is communicating with tend not to be near the coach, because the quarterback is on the field and the coordinators oftentimes are in a press box to get a better view.
Why do NFL coaches use a helmet headset?
Coaches used to just use hand signals before the advent of helmet headsets - defenses still used them as late as 2001, when Bill Belichick infamously stole the Rams' defensive signals and his next three Super Bowls. Belichick wasn't the first, though, and stealing signals was just as rampant in the 70's and 80's, when playbooks got more complex, as it has been in baseball for most of the last century. The prime motivation for adopting headsets was that it allowed better and more secure communication to the signal-callers on the field.The typical setup gives a headset to the offensive and defensive coordinators, the head coach, and the signal-callers - the quarterback and middle linebacker ("QB of the defense"). The coordinators are usually the ones calling plays, with many OCs preferring to sit in a booth near the press box for a superior vantage point, while the other coaches stay on the sidelines. Offensive and defensive headsets operate on different channels so that each squad can focus on its own adjustments when not on the field. The head coach is patched in to everyone so that he can issue special orders ("go for it" on fourth down, calling field goals, take a knee, call time-out, etc.), make suggestions, or countermand bad play calls.Some teams give other players besides the QB and MLB headsets if they are involved in things like play execution or offensive line calls, but generally relaying orders through the signal-callers works well enough.Motorola currently makes the NFL's headsets, according to a quick Bing search.
Who do football coaches talk to with their headset?
Who do football coaches talk to with their headset? So NBA or Baseball coaches don't carry headsets, but football coaches do, and I wonder why they hide their mouth every time they saying a couple words like it's a top secret! I know they aren't talking to players --or the referees, but if they talking to their assistants, they are out there with them, so no need for a headset! and they know that we can easily intercept their conversations on the headset?
Why do football coaches wear headphone and microphone?

Why do basketball coaches wear suits, football coaches wear sweats, and baseball coaches wear team uniforms?
The NFL, the NBA, and the NHL don’t allow coaches on the field, court, or ice. Baseball does, but you can't be on the baseball diamond/park unless you are in uniform.On the flip side, it is hard to be ejected from a game in football, basketball, or hockey (ie you really need to press your luck) as a coach…..in baseball, it happens all the time.
Why do NHL assistant coaches wear the earphones?
usually every NHL assistant coach has an earphone that they wear and many time they talk into the attached mic. Why do they wear it and who do they need to talk to?
On an NFL team during a game, who wears a headset? And are they all connected, listening to a single line?
On offense the the QB has a headset that allows him to listen to the coach calling the plays (sometimes the head coach, sometimes the offensive coordinator). He doesn't have a mic to talk back and the headset gets cut off with 15 seconds left on the play clock (I believe this is the right number). The coach relays the play to him and he in turn tells the players on the field. I'm guessing it works pretty similarly on defense, with the 15 second rule. Only one player wears the headset, usually the middle linebacker. And he also has no mic, so it's a one-way conversation on both sides.
Do NFL quarterbacks wear headsets in their helmets? If so, what kind of information is conveyed through their headsets during a play?
To answer you're question, Yes, both the Quarterback and One defensive player, often the Middle Linebacker, are allowed headset communication inside their helmets, however, the radio cut off occurs 15 seconds before the play clock runs down, therefor, no play calling or information is relayed after the play clock has reached the 15 second mark, some of the information relayed may be plays, defensive or offensive keys/reads, information on players, etc. Players with helmet communication are marked by a green dot on the backs of their helmets to make officials aware.
