Inside the Mind of One of College Football’s Most Creative Play Callers | Andy Kotelnicki

Andy Kotelnicki breaks down how an offense is actually built—from identifying what players do best to deciding which concepts deserve a place in the game plan. He explains why his call sheet has become smaller over time, how Kansas evaluates new ideas, what happens during Sunday staff meetings, and why preparation matters more than play-calling on game day. Kotelnicki also reflects on his relationship with Lance Leipold, the influence of his small-college coaching roots, and the lessons he has learned through more than two decades of designing offenses. This is a detailed look at offensive identity, game planning, teaching, delegation, and the process behind high-level play calling. Topics include: Building an offensive identity Creating a weekly game plan Evaluating and adding new plays Developing assistant coaches Managing every offensive position Advice for young coaches @thelefthashcall Twitter/X: https://x.com/thelefthashcall Instagram: /thelefthashcall Facebook: /thelefthashcall Tik Tok: /thelefthashcall #Coaching #CFB #LHC
