well, he comes up with concepts and ideas for offense and defense. then he finds a guy who thinks like he does to run the O or D. He picks starters and in critcal situations can overrule a play call and will go with his own. Decides how practice will be conducted. when practices are done. Some are also GM head coaches and make roster moves

They will run different formations depending on if they are in offensive or defensive mode. The type of formation used is determined by the game situation. Teams will often have "special formations" which they only use in obvious passing situations, short yardage or goal line situations, or formations they have developed for that particular game just to confuse the defense. There are a nearly unlimited number of possible formations. The skill in utilizing these plays can be likened to that of any game of strategy.....as in chess there are formulas for offensive and defensive play depending on what the other team is doing, but each team has their own style which is what makes the playbooks different and there are so many variables, such as injuries, that is why the game is always exciting!

Sometimes the head coaches are ALSO an off. coordinator or def. coordinator. Example, Bill Parcells was his off. coordinator, Belichick with the Pats, etc. But the off. coordinator and def. coordinators calls the plays, head coach directs them on which gameplan to be using. Basically, making the tough calls like if they should go for it on 4th and inches, punting or kicking a long field goal, etc.

Off. and Def. Coordinators do the actual play calling. It is their job to mis things up and keep the opponent off balance. It is the head coach's job to formulate a game plan, and make adjustments as the game develops. The head coach will communicate to the coordinators if he sees a weakness to exploit.

He has veto power on the plays for starters. Also a lot of coordinators sit in the booths up in the stands and he is the field presence. Really though it depends on the team.

he oversees the big picture, kind of coaches his coaches Just like if you go to a restaurant you would find a manager for the dining room and a manager for the kitchen, but then there is the restaurant manager that oversees and coordinates the bigger picture.(unless you were fishing for a sarcastic answer)

The head coach is always busy working on his resume because he knows he'll be fired no matter what he does.
