I donโ€™t know why this never occurred to me before. so quarterbacks have headsets in their helmets so they can communicate with the coaching staff. I was always under the impression that they only used it before the play, just to prevent using a runner, but is the coach ever on the microphone during the play? maybe telling the quarterback where somebody is open if he canโ€™t see it

No. The headsets are disabled when the play starts or when the play clock goes below 15 seconds.

It does get disabled to the Quarterback, however I believe the Head Coach can flip between channels to talk to Offensive and/or Defensive coordinators during the play.
