Well it’s not out the question.
Key Co-OC offensive line coach and run game coordinator.
Patenaude Co-OC qb coach passing game coordinator and play caller.

I actually would like that a lot.

That’s a lot of silly title nonsense like asst head coach. The guy calling the plays is the OC.

Honest question: somebody explain to me what a running/passing game coordinator does.

It is all gameplanning? Traditionally when you put a gameplan together you look at all your offensive plays and starting picking and choosing plays that have the greatest likelihood of success against the particular defense you're facing based on personnel, formation and alignment tendencies, etc.

So the run game coordinator says, "Let's put these run plays in the gameplan for this week's game against XYZ University."
Similarly, the passing game coordinator says, "Let's put these pass plays in."

At that point it would be standard stuff: the team practices the plays in the gameplan and the playcaller calls plays from the gameplan on gameday.

If Brent Key is coming over in some capacity it won’t be until Bama’s season is over. Right? According to how CGC has been bringing coaches in so far.

How many have more than one actually calling the plays? Please cite examples.

That’s not the point. They are still co-coordinators. What you feel they are or are not is your perception, not what’s titled by the school and coaching staff. Just cause you feel a certain way doesn’t change what they are.
